Memory Lane TV
Television designed specifically for people living with memory loss and dementia.
A simple tool known as the "Netflix of Dementia"
When it comes to behavior redirection, television is a common default. But standard TV's rapid pacing, unpredictable content, and narrativedemands can deepen agitation rather than relieve it.
Memory Lane TV offers a cognitively-appropriate alternative, giving care teams a reliable, evidence-informed redirection tool that works.
Clinically tested across multiple care settings in the US and France, it requires no specialized training and integrates instantly into any existing care plan.
- Over 300 hours of on-demand content, with new programs added monthly.
- Personalized playlists calibrated to individual interests, culture, and time of day.
- Works for 1-on-1 sessions and group activities alike.
- Caregiver education channel including a series by Teepa Snow.

The founder and research behind Memory Lane TV
Alban Maino, Founder & CEO of Memory Lane TV
"Working in memory care is not just a profession for me: it is a calling."
Alban Maino spent his career telling stories through film. When someone close to him was diagnosed with dementia, he found himself searching for something calming, familiar, and genuinely made for the way she now experienced the world. Nothing quite existed. So he built it.
Memory Lane TV was developed in close collaboration with neurologists, memory care professionals, and more than 1,000 people living with memory loss, drawing on decades of research into multisensory stimulation and the therapeutic power of guided imagery.
In 2024, Alban was named a Memory Care Innovation Award winner by Behavioral Health Business — recognized by his peers for turning that conviction into something care teams across North America use every day.
FAQs
Memory Lane TV is designed for people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, from early to late stages. It is used by care teams, activity coordinators, and recreational therapists in memory care units, assisted living communities, and day programs. It can also be used by family caregivers at home.
Staff can build playlists based on a resident's personal history, cultural background, language, and interests. The platform's All Day Play channel automatically adjusts content intensity to the time of day: brighter and more stimulating in the morning, soothing and restorative in the evening.
Memory Lane TV's plot-free, positive programming is designed to redirect difficult emotions and behaviors naturally — reducing anxiety, agitation, and social isolation without medication. Care teams participating in MLTV's clinical testing reported using fewer psychotropic interventions with residents.
No specialized training is required. Memory Lane TV is streamed through technology that most care communities already have: smart TVs, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, or Chromecast.
While the platform is easy to use, we do include caregiver training materials with professional subscriptions to help teams get the most from it.
When a resident is agitated, anxious, or difficult to reach, turning on Memory Lane TV provides an immediate, non-confrontational way to shift their focus.
