Music & Memory is a healthcare nonprofit initiative based in Mount Vernon, New York, that focuses on using personalized music to support people with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments. The organization trains care professionals to create individual playlists for those in their care, using inexpensive mp3 players to help awaken memories and encourage social interaction and a sense of self. Its approach aims to integrate music engagement into care as a standard part of treatment by building a network of certified organizations and providing access and education. The enterprise operates within the hospitals and health care sector, expanding its reach through partnerships and programs designed to support aging in place and dementia care. Recent developments include collaborations with the Alzheimer’s Association in Wisconsin and a partnership with Six Strings Coffee Company, reflecting active efforts to broaden its impact through community and caregiver-focused initiatives.
