Melody of Memories
When the assisted living home plans a trip to a music history exhibit
Melody of Memories becomes a heartfelt journey where relationships are
explored. Our Seniors are faced with challenging issues , such as:
dealing with dementia, grief, moving into a facility and financial
abuse. Mabel has recently moved to an assisted living home due to her
husband’s passing and her progressing dementia. Mabel and her
granddaughter, Molly, have always bonded over their love of music. When
the assisted living home plans a trip to a music history exhibit, Molly
and Mabel join a spirited small group of seniors to explore the museum
with their nurse, Sean, leading the way. Mabel and the other seniors
find themselves taking in the exhibits and reflecting on their past
while also confronting current challenges facing seniors today.
This
production is supported through a grant from the New Horizons Seniors
federal granting program.
A group of Senior citizens from an assisted living home take a trip to a music history museum. There are some funny moments and they sing some good music. Mabel forgets things and her Granddaughter and the Nurse have to help her. Someone steals some money from Mabel's friend and we have to find the person. It all works out okay and everyone is happy on the bus ride home.
