Music to Better Life Quality

More than 5 million people have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, so why isn't there a solution to make their life quality better? Music therapy has been proven to bring back memories for people with Alzheimer's. As they listen to the music, the music brings back lost memories making the person happier. People are aware of music therapy, but not aware of what it can do for their loved ones. To fix this, all people in all assisted living facilities should be given music to listen once or twice a day.
