It Started with Rosette
When Alban Maino's grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he looked for something that would help her and found the options were thin. He also noticed that the television meant to comfort her was doing the opposite: its plots, pace and noise left her more anxious than before.
Maino is not a clinician. He is a producer, with a career in French film production behind him and a documentary company of his own in Portland, Maine. He served as Vice President of the Institut de la Vie in Paris.
He read for years through published neuroscience and the long literature on sensory stimulation and memory. Then he did the thing he actually knew how to do. He filmed. Slow footage, gentle music, no plot to follow and nothing to lose track of.
Rosette smiled. She relaxed. She found peace in the hours that had been hardest.
What Memory Lane TV Does
Where ordinary television asks a viewer to follow a plot, hold names in mind and track a scene across time, Memory Lane TV asks nothing. It is a non-pharmaceutical, evidence-based tool that complements a care plan. It is not a treatment, a cure or a replacement for medication, and it has never been positioned as one.
Rhythm of the Day
Two channels running 24 hours a day, following the rhythm of the day: sunrise scenes in the morning, calmer content as the light goes.

More than 100 films made for care partners themselves. Developed and refined in residential care settings across Europe and New England, grounded in more than five decades of neuroscience and sensory-stimulation research.
