*Shortlisted for the Elevator Award for Innovation in Dementia and awarded the Dementia Friendly Communities (DFC) small grant from Alzheimer’s Ireland. Funded by Galway Arts Centre and Galway City Council. The Documentary ‘Alive Inside’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9IHUPamCB4) created by Filmmaker *Michael Rossato-Bennett has was given to the staff members of Maryfield nursing home (a specialist nursing home for people leaving with Alzhiemers Disease in Athenry Galway), as a starting point to the project. This touching documentary is a cinematic exploration of music’s capacity to reawaken our souls and uncover the deepest parts of our humanity. It follows the instigator, an American social worker Dan Cohen, as he demonstrates music’s ability to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from the disease. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease, which affects the family and loved ones of the sufferers as well as the sufferer themselves. It takes away memories, decision-making abilities, and it can be scary and confusing time for everyone involved. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia and is a general term that is used to diagnose memory loss and other intellectual abilities that are lost or affected seriously enough to interfere with functioning of a healthy daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. It effects more woman than men and the condition when presented is typically diagnosed in the over sixties.There is no known cause or cure for Alzheimer’s. When we are young Music records itself in our motions and emotions and luckily these are the last parts of the brain touched by Alzheimer’s. Sounds, Music and vibration are being introduced to the participants at the nursing home. These vehicles of expression are proven to have the ability to activate more parts of the brain than any other stimulus and therefore has the ability to ‘unlock’ memories in suffers of dementia. If only for a moment, music can allow a person living with dementia to rediscover pleasure in the world by reconnecting with themselves and their environments.
