Our residents enjoyed a session of music entertainment

Incorporating musical activities into our care homes has had a wide range of benefits.

For individuals living with dementia, musical care home activities take on an extra significance. Scientific studies have found that listening to music can provide great stimulation for the brain, not only producing a strong, positive emotional response but also reducing anxiety and stress.

What’s more, it’s been found that music can inspire reminiscence, communication, and improved cognitive skills for those with dementia.

Music facilitates non-verbal expression and can often bridge the communication gap where words might fail.
