Bring comfort and connection through familiar music. Create personalized playlists that spark memories, reduce stress, and support meaningful moments of care.
The Music & Memory® app makes it easy for caregivers to create personalized music playlists for someone in their care. Developed by Music & Memory® in partnership with Library Ideas, LLC, the app is built on Music & Memory’s proven approach to using familiar music to support comfort, connection, and well-being.
Familiar music can spark memories, reduce stress, and create moments of joy—especially for individuals living with memory loss or other cognitive challenges. With just a few taps, caregivers can use music as a simple, powerful tool to encourage engagement and emotional connection.
