Help me help my mom who has dementia

Hello all.  I have a favor to ask.  My mother has dementia, and is in a facility.  She perks up a bit when music from her era is played.  The problem is that I am not there to play it.  It was suggested that I might play CDs for her.  So I am asking  for anyone who might have a CD player, portable that plays more than 1 CD….Or even one.  Her music of choice is Nat King Cole, Charlie Rich, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, old hymns and the like.  I thought that if I set it up in her room I could leave a note on her door and ask the aides to hit play and or change the CD periodically. 

Does anyone have these things sitting around, collecting dust?  Dementia is a wicked beast and this might just give my mom a little joy.  I could pick up your items and or you could drop them off at Pittsboro Feed….The staff there will get them to me. 

Thank you for your kindness

Christine Miller
