Aging In The Willamette Valley

This week, Lynn Tylczak, a volunteer from the All Maximized Music program, talks about the program she’s developed. It provides dementia patients with free music that is selected and scored in a way that potentially improves physical and mental well-being. Clinical research shows that playing memorable music – and that includes specific musical aspects -- can help dementia patients reduce their risk of falling, improve their mood and behaviors, increase cognition, and reduce the need for antipsychotic drugs. Listen to hear more about what the Oregon Health Care Association calls the “Innovative Program of the Year.” Don’t miss the show!
