Music and Dementia.
Music is a powerful tool for improving the well being of people with dementia. It allows them to connect with their past and people in their present with its ability to light up memories.
As well as reducing agitation and distress, recent findings suggest that musical training delays cognitive decline and promotes brain plasticity in the elderly brain.
When tuned into their favourite station and enjoy the sound of someone humming, whistling or singing along. You may even see an impromptu twirl or foot-tapping, symptomatic of an impulsive expression of contentment, relaxation, and happiness.
