Music can be a powerful tool for connection, comfort, and care.

Key takeaways:
• How personalized playlists can support emotional well-being
• Ways singing, dancing, and listening together strengthen connection
• Using music to help daily tasks go more smoothly
• Simple music activities caregivers can use for self-care
• When to seek support from a board-certified music therapist

Wearable sensors, under-mattress sleep monitors, and smart home devices are now being deployed in real-world care settings to passively track behavioral changes — disrupted sleep, altered routines, changes in gait — that correlate with early cognitive decline, without requiring the person being monitored to do a thing.

Early detection matters because the intervention window is real. New medications can slow Alzheimer's progression, but they work best early.

Participants will also be introduced to free AARP fraud victim support services and caregiver resources designed to help families respond when fraud occurs.
