This encouraging feel good news was reported on our local TV a few weeks ago,
which prompted me to google away for the next half hour or so to read more background and details..

3 months ago I accompanied my mother [83] to her first appointment at the local memory clinic.
As we entered the building, and sat in empty waiting corridor
we gradually became aware of somewhat disconcerting creepy ethereal heavenly choirs
wafting through the otherwise deserted clinic..

My old mum uncomfortably started to wonder where exactly I was taking her.....????

Some while later an officious nurse arrived from a long way down the hall
and lead us the length of the building to the consultant's room.

Just dead opposite we could see through a small window in a door,
a congregation of very elderly people sat in rows
being 'entertained' by a new age choir....

Music therapy of some kind, but not my mum's cup of tea.

As she made very plainly clear to the medical staff when they invited her to join the 'programme'...
