Villa Musica’s Musical Biographies™ program brings together people with all forms of dementia, their care-givers, and family in a unique multi-sensorial experience that centers around music and memory.
Villa Musica and the UCSD Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center present Musical Biographies™, a 6-week workshop for people with dementia, caregivers, and families to create personalized memory books inspired by meaningful music, memories, and life stories.
Self-expression and community are essential to the human experience, especially as we age. Villa Musica – San Diego’s Community Music Center, provides multiple access points for older adults to connect with vibrant and creative programming.
Dementia is a diagnosis that affects an entire family.
Care partners struggle to care for a loved one who is diagnosed with dementia.
These dyads (i.e., person with diagnosis & care partner) experience an enormous shift in the dynamic of their relationship.
Both people need support from others experiencing a similar shift.
