April 11, 2019
Mail online: A dementia-striken husband who doesn’t speak has been able to reconnect with his wife with the help of a ‘music memory box’. The Music Memory Box is a kit which families fill with significant objects such as photographs which also plays songs.
Steve Garrity, 82, and his wife Monica, 74, of Bristol, use the innovative box to play their love song – ‘Temma harbour’ by Mary Hopkin – while remembering their happy life together.
