A long-time advocate for the power of the creative spirit, and in response to COVID-19, Valley resident and jazz vocalist Shannon Wallace, CDP created MusicalMemoryCare.com, an online, interactive live-streaming and on-demand Music, Movement & Memory program serving those living with dementia and cognitive impairment, and their caregivers.
The program’s video sessions feature Wallace interacting with her audience who are then able to experience full-body movement exercises; memory and hand-eye coordination games; problem-solving games; humor and reflective conversation, all set to music and/or rhythm. Wallace is a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) through the American National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP).
