This brought me tears..my mother was super bright and helped me to become a teacher i lost her to alzheimers it was so sad My mother was the. Glue that held our family together. The first thing the dr told me to look in her cheek book omg !

this is hilarious to me, these are brain dead souls with absolutely no reality

thanks for making this video

I found that with my father, who loved music, perked up completely when I played him music he enjoyed since he was a young man. He was Mexican and he loved the Mexican songs of the 50's and he loved classical music. He loved hearing Ravel' s Bolero and Blue Danube. It jogs back the memory to times they had in the past.

Fantastic therapy-music

#TherapyAnimalIsGoodForAll 💚🐕🐴🐈🐐🦥🦘🐨 Congratulations.Bravo 👏👏👏 Life is wonderful 👏🙏

Great video. Even 10 years later, wonderful advice about talking about what they are interested in. I cried watching this as my mother had alzheimers and passed on years ago. Still makes me sad for her.

Advantages for the dementia sufferer with going with the flow.

Actually people realized long time ago that animals could help them emotionally. Now it is recognized as animal assisted therapy, but it is already happening in eveyone's home who adopted a cat, a dog etc. :)

I simply utilize this memory loss treatment solution tinyurl.com/memorylosscure to help keep my brain active. We have to apply small effort to help keep our brain active as we get through age. My memory is improved, words come to me faster, and my mood is much better..

Awe,There was a horse.I would have pet the horse and gave it a kiss on it’s head.I would stroke the hairs along it’s back and give it plenty of attention.I would love and care for it too.

This disease is so much worse than any other. Your body is still here but it's like someone took part of your brain away. I know several people who have this disease. So very sad.

This is so sad i cried

Thank you! I've learned something.

I still love this video, there years later! :D

Stop the music please

Thank you for sharing .

I agree with wonderful ladies It can be heartbreaking. I can deal ok with an infantile bedridden diaper wearing patient lying in their waste with bliss on their face. But when you see the despairing look on their face. Knowing they are losing their memories.

Thank you for posting this great video.

This beautiful lady narrator has an excellent point. Let them pick their own point in time. Say for one. Its 1950 to her & she just got married. Don't tell her her husband died in 1975. Let her have her experience of 1950 now.

I've been at my wits end with my grandfather. it's been very hard. I haven't been taught how to do look after someone who is slowly getting worse memory wise. this is the first video I came along that actually helped me.

This was just joyous. What you are doing for old folk is marvellous. To connect with animals in an friendly setting, is thrilling indeed. Only the stony-hearted would think otherwise. Best wishes to all your guests.

This is really an amazing explaination of how to gently take care of them and put them at ease. I am sure it has added great value to my professional learning.

I have a vary sad opion & compassion for real dementia. Forgetfulness cane be a nightmare. But infantile dementia is a different story. Like incontinence Pooping or peepee in bed. I am Ok with that. Unlike most people. I even like the smell of urine & I love being in bed alot. But being active an losing you memorys & knowing that you are. That is a nightmare to live with. But laying in bed in my waste. I can get a long with that.

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you! I cared for Rose who had dementia. It was as though she left her body and an evil spirit entered her! It was horrible! They talk about abuse to the patient, but what about abuse to the caregiver? Caregivers need all the help they can get! The Inspired Caregiver book is a huge help! I am concerned with the rate at which this illness is growing! it's terrible for both the patient and the caregiver- with glimpses of precious moments. Thank you again for this video.

omg so sad!

healing does not always involve a doctor and a pill....wise loving musical sounds also can heal....

Loved this

My wife and I are making a few Hymns albums available for music therapy in Nursing Homes and Hospice Care! I just uploaded a video called "Songs for Music & Memory iPod Project". Enjoy!

You may improve memory, focus and concentration, plus prevent the risk of dementia by training your brain everyday.

The vast majority of of the current treatments is to try to impede the disease development using organ-destroying pills, which brings about lots of unwanted side effects.

What actually causes dementia is still unknown. But you could avoid the disease by lessening the risks.

thanks for the video is realy something wonderfull .. i study to do this

Some people in the end stage of Altzheimer recognize the old melodies of their early years and start to sing. Is my experience.

What's interesting is that people with AD forget people in the reverse order that they met them. They forget their children before they forget their husband, and they forget their husband before they forget their best friend from high school, and they forget their parents, who they have known their entire lives, last.

The first step to taking care of a loved one suffering from dementia is having the willingness to fully understand what they're going through. This video has been very helpful and a great educational tool. Thank you so much for uploading this.
