Default Re: Help w/ Mother in Law

My 89 year old mother-in-law lives with us. She has dementia & Alzheimer's.
My wife takes her to the rec centers during the day that has bluegrass music and acoustic guitar music & country music; VIRTUALLY ANY music pleases her.
Keeps her toes taping, hands clapping and sometimes she sings along.
Seems to work very well.
Even though she's not crazy about being out in the weather, depending on the music she likes the squares.
"music soothes the savage beast!"
