Harmony

Harmony

When memory or thinking begins to change, daily life can feel harder – for everyone involved.

Harmony is an innovative, evidence-based program at the University of Kentucky that supports adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, as well as others with conditions that affect memory, thinking and daily function.

By focusing on routines, environments and sensory experiences, Harmony helps families create moments of comfort and connection at home.

Two people are seated at a table inside a home, working together with wooden puzzle or matching game pieces spread across the surface. Shelving with books and decorative items lines the background, and additional game boards and colorful pieces are visible in the foreground.

WHAT IS
HARMONY?

Grounded in neuroscience, behavioral science and occupational therapy, Harmony focuses on how the brain experiences daily routines and environments.

Harmony introduces simple, personalized adjustments to enhance quality of life for individuals living with cognitive conditions that affect day-to-day functioning.

Harmony offers a practical, evidence-based approach to care that complements medical treatment.

Harmony is designed to help caregivers – whether family members, friends or paid care providers – bring more ease and calm to daily life.

Harmony connects caregivers with trained professionals to observe routines and notice patterns. Together, they explore small, personalized changes that can make daily routines smoother, more comfortable and more meaningful.
