Slowly, inevitably, Alzheimer’s disease robs a person of profound memories, like the names and faces of loved ones. Right now, there’s no cure. But one researcher thinks he may have found a way to help mitigate the effects of the disease—using music. Listen in to learn how.
Cameron Art Museum Connections Program
Cameron Art Museum is pleased to offer tours especially designed for Alzheimer’s patients. Individuals with their caregivers or family members meet in small groups with specially trained docents to view and discuss artwork and the memories evoked by art that so often surface when patients are viewing artwork.
Docents in the Connections Program have been through specialized training in Alzheimer’s caregiving and understand the basic needs of individuals with dementia. Cameron Art Museum is committed to create a destination that is uplifting for individuals who suffer from dementia.
Reservations may be arranged for small groups of participants, along with their caregiver. For more info or to register for these programs please call Georgia Mastroieni at 910-395-5999 ext. 1019. or mail to: georgia@cameronartmuseum.com
