I.D.E.A. Music

Description

I would like to introduce I.D.E.A. (Innovative Development of Elderly Activity) Consulting Service.
Music is a universal language that evokes many memories. Music adds to the spirit and the well-being of many of our elderly, including Alzheimer's and Dementia clients. I wish to dedicate these books to the elderly of all communities and may they have many pleasant moments as they sing along with the accompanying tapes/CDs. I hope this will be a therapeutic experience. After 30 years of experience in the health care field as an activity co-ordinator and nurse, it is my continuing personal mission to advocate and promote meaningful opportunities for others. I feel there is ample opportunity to enhance the lives of the elderly and others with music whether it be for easy listening, sing-a-longs, or therapeutic reasons. Throughout my years of experience many memorable moments happened with music. Music can help with the emotional and social needs of individuals and can help with communication/memory in the cognitive impaired. This music assists in meeting the holistic needs of our aboriginal people through the enjoyment of music whether it be provided on an individual basic, at a personal care home, or at one of our community elders gatherings.
