The Simple Music Player – MP3 music box for Alzheimer’s and dementia.

This Simple Music Player May Be Just What Your Dementia Patient Needs To Relax And Enjoy Tunes Of Old

There’s few things that doctors can agree upon when it comes to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia. In fact, there’s not even a fail safe way to diagnose these diseases.

But, one thing that is common knowledge among medical professionals and caregivers is that music can soothe the savage beast!

Music, particularly tunes from the past, seem to provide a calmness that is often missing in a dementia patient’s day. The music not only is soothing but may well inspire some patients to sing along with the tunes (this may or may not be a blessing….).

This simple music player may make the difference between your dementia patient acting out or being calm.

This dynamite radio comes with just 3 controls: Lift a lever to turn it on, press a button to advance to the next tune, or press the lever to turn it off. There will be no more calls about ‘this thing doesn’t work!’ Set it and forget it!

Coming pre-recorded with music of old, you can also easily load up to 1500 songs as it’s got internal storage. Songs are uploaded through a computer which you, the gifter, will handle before giving Grandma (the ‘giftee’) her new radio.

This wonderful Alzheimer’s or dementia gift comes in two different styles. I love the wooden one but am not sure it’s worth the extra cost. Red would do just as well in our household!

All you’ll need to upload vast amounts of music (or audio books!) is a computer and access to digital music.

This is the gift that keeps on giving.

Here’s another good one button radio that is currently on the market.
