We have one - we've found that some agitated residents do find it soothing - but there are other things that have the same effect to. Soft music, the sound of music movie, a walk in the garden, 1:1 attention etc. If you don't already have it, I'm not sure that it's worth the $. It might help some people a little, but it's not a magic wand

I work with alzheimer's residents too. I've found that reading abilities stay with some residents for quite a long time. Here's a cool article from the New York Times! http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/22/many-alzheimers-patients-find-comfort-in-books/
