Changing Eldercare WorldwideWHAT IS ALIVE INSIDE COMMUNIVERSITY?
What if kids could give the elders the memory music?
The film ‘Alive Inside’ showed how music, relationship, and empathy can transform the end of life.
Eventually, this became Alive Inside CommUniversity. They imagined eldercare centers and elders as a teaching tool for the benefit of all.
The film was instrumental in changing eldercare worldwide. Today over 10,000 institutions and millions of caregivers give memory music to elders living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
