Episode 17:3 Alban Maino on TV for individuals with cognitive decline and connecting with loved ones through reminiscence therapy
Alban Maino shares his journey as founder of Memory Lane TV, a multi-sensory series of programs adapted for people living

About Alban
Alban Maino is a Franco-American documentary film producer based in Portland, Maine, and the founder of Memory Lane TV, the “Netflix of dementia.” The creation of Memory Lane TV was inspired by his personal experience caring for his grandmother.
He explains, “When my grandmother, Rosette, was affected by Alzheimer’s, I searched for a tool, an intervention, something to help manage her symptoms, but found there were no effective options available. I delved into the published research and slowly discovered decades of investigations into sensory stimulation and memory. Eventually I was able to leverage my media background and construct some sensory stimulation tools based on that research that helped with my grandmother’s symptoms. This was the genesis of Memory Lane TV.”
