When I worked as a caregiver for people with dementia, I found that letting them listen to music improved their ability to think clearly.
@Say_what_now Great point. There has been research on that and there is a non profit who provides dementia and Alzheimer’s patients with the modern day mp3 players and headphones. They say if you find the kind of music they like, or grew up listening to and let them listen, they come to life so to speak. I’ll try and find that non profit info and post it. Thank you so much for the comment. : )
@Say_what_now it’s called Music and Memory:

Thanks, Greg! I am retired now, but it is my hope that this & other methods will help to eliminate or t least keep the effects of these conditions to a minimum. I have seen the smartest person I ever met get virtually erased by this, & my own mother debilitated. May God bless anyone who makes contribution to stop it.
@Say_what_now Absolutely. I have a TBI, ADHD, PTSD and more. I take several meds for memory, one is an Alzheimer’s med, one is a Parkinson's & a couple others. I’m not diagnosed with those, but my neurologist has been trying to improve things. I know how scary, sometimes terrifying it can be with my things, and the frustration and fears. It’s a glimpse of what it must be like to actually have one of those diagnosis. I’m not sure if I would be aware of my problems id that was my diagnosis.
