THE Silver Memories radio service has been acknowledged for its efforts at the International Dementia Awards.

The Coorparoo-based nostalgic station provides a sense of companionship to thousands of listeners, including 98-year-old Camp Hill resident Sam ­Houselander.

The World War II veteran said the old war songs reminded him of his time serving in Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific.

“(The station) goes all day and all night. If I wake up early in the morning it’s there,” Mr Houselander said.
Founder Gary Thorpe said he was thrilled the station had been named a finalist. He said the service used the power of music to bring back happy memories.

“It turns out that music is a very, very powerful tool for managing physical and verbal agitation,” he said.
