EMPOWERMENT FOR ALL THE FAMILY Evidence and recommendations
There is a wealth of evidence which shows the benefits of music for people living with Dementia, their carers and family. Listening to music together can empower family carers, strengthen connections, promote memory recall and provide a deeper understanding of the person behind the Dementia. Using meaningful music can provide social stimulation, foster creativity, improve cognitive function and help to manage the symptoms of Dementia.
WHEN AND WHY TO BEST ACTThe stages and what you can do
It is important that a person with early dementia is given the opportunity to do things for themselves and are supported to maintain their independence. Try to focus on what the person can do, not what they can no longer do.
Using meaningful familiar music can help to re-orientate, reduce anxiety and promote self-identity. Singing the person’s daily routine can help them remember certain tasks throughout the day for example.
