Music

Music is a powerful medium with tremendous impact in our lives. This is especially true for people living with dementia.

We create personalized playlists for Club 36 members.

Music is as personal as it is powerful.

Research shows that music can help stimulate memories for people living with dementia. This program helps members reconnect with their world through music-triggered memories.

Whether it’s jazz, swing, country, rhythm and blues, cultural music, classical opera, or rock and roll, it doesn’t matter to us. It’s only matters that it moves our members.

Music & Memory Program®

Our Alzheimer Society of Calgary team has completed training with our community partners from Music & Memory® (a non-profit organization). We now have our own adapted Music & Memory® program in place at Club 36.

To see the music program in action, check out this preview from the acclaimed documentary, Alive Inside.
