Residents making hanging planters
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.
This is a wonderful sensory activity that can reduce anxiety, provide reassurance and a sense of comfort.
Our object is to make our residents feel special, reduce anxiety and keep hands and nails clean.
We gather a group of residents and seat them around a table for a chat while waiting for their turn.
We wash their hands in water, lightly massage with essential oil mixture or hand cream. Women may wish to have nails coloured, in which case involve them in the choice of colour.
