Looking for gifts for your loved one that suffers from Alzheimer's? Here are some ideas. Music from their youth, you can obtain CDs and copies of the lyrics (so family members and caregivers can learn the songs)from many places. A few examples:
Enhanced Moments Website
http://enhancedmoments.com/catalog/.
The Alzheimer's Store
http://alzstore.com/ They are also on Facebook.
Healing Music Enterprises
http://healingmusicenterprises.com
Research shows that Music Therapy benefits individuals with AD, especially helps decrease aggressive behavior and improves mood. The benefits of music also helps with communication. Many caregivers have been able to improve the mood of someone by singing a favorite song.
