[MusicTlk] music as theropy

[Robert Moore]

Hi All,   I don't know where else  to ask this so I hope this is fair game
for this list. 

My Wife has  dementia and is  now in a care centre since it got to the point
that I could no longer care for her at home. I want to provide her with
music and am wondering what options I have. I could see   about getting her
a small radio for her room which I  think could be a nice thing but what I
really would like to do if I can find a good way to do it, is to get a
small device that I could load a bunch of her favorite songs onto and she
could turn it on and just let it play. Like I say she does have dementia so
it would have to be very simple with very few buttons or functions. Just
turn it on and let it play through or set on  random or what  ever. 

 

I hope this make sence. 

 I can not remember what they called it but before it was so popular to play
music on your cell phone there used to be a small device  that  you could
load music on and then plug in a  headphone sset or a small external
speaker. 

  Anyhow I think you all get the picture.
