Abstract

Along with the rising number of people suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease (due to longer life spans) come two main concerns: finding remedies and helping them live comfortable and contented lives. Our authors examine the latest research on what is called "retro environments" and "reminiscence therapy," which includes health-care communities that offer elements of nostalgia, as well as music, objects, and photographs from one's past.
