Seniors in Motion is now Music & Memory Certified. We are kicking off our Music & Memory program with the Longest Day Event, June 20th, 2016. We will have a DJ from 7am-7pm with music from the 20s to current. Bring your family and friends to support those with Alzheimer's, and make a song request on their behalf. This is going to be a great event!

This clip of Alive Inside is a powerful documentary that shows there is still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease. Music has a way of reaching people in amazing ways and this video is a beautiful demonstration of just how much music can make a positive impact in someone's life. Be inspired and watch this documentary.

Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. It’s best to wash your hands with soap and clean running water for 20 seconds. If that’s not possible, use alcohol-based hand rubs.

The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year in the fall. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often. Stay home if you get sick.
