“Music can reach the heart when words can’t.”

I created Memory Melody™ from a deeply personal place.

My own mother lived with Alzheimer’s disease and spent most of her final year in my home. As her primary caregiver, I experienced firsthand the ups and downs, the challenges, and the quiet heartbreak that can come with this journey. In the midst of difficult days, I discovered something powerful — music could bring her comfort, spark joy, and calm her when little else could.

My husband’s father also suffered from Parkinson’s disease and the dementia that often follows. While we weren’t his day-to-day caregivers, we watched his wife — my mother-in-law — navigate the exhausting, tender role of caregiving. We saw how demanding it was, and how deeply caregivers need moments of lightness and relief.

Those experiences shaped Memory Melody™.
I believe music is one of the last bridges that remains when so much else fades. A familiar melody can ease anxiety, bring a smile, or even unlock a memory — if only for a moment.

Memory Melody™ was created to offer personalized songs for people living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory challenges — and to give caregivers one more way to connect with the ones they love.

"Every memory has a melody. Let’s bring those melodies back to life."

Standing beside you on this journey,

Joanne Morton Joseph, Creator of Memory Melody™
