Embedding music into dementia care
United Kingdom
In early 2020, Clare Reynolds returned to Invernevis House for the usual Follow-Up Visit. She was delighted to find the staff had taken their training and adapted it to make music work within their schedules reflecting our own approach to on-site training.

Building on previous impact with on-site skill-sharing
United Kingdom
In 2020, we returned to Moss Park Care Home in the Scottish Highlands to deliver a second Introductory Training Project, after we first trained staff back in 2016. Manager Eilidh, who took part in the first project as a caregiver, requested a second project to build on the tangible impact she had seen as a result of the first.

Supporting best practice in the UK
United Kingdom
In May 2019, we were approached by Innovative Aged Care, who were interested in introducing music therapy techniques to the care provided at their private residential home, Chelsea Court Place. In response, we worked with the manager and caregivers to devise a tailored training project, delivered in September 2019.

Advancing healthcare for people living with dementia
United Kingdom
As one of our first on-site skill-sharing projects in the UK, the training we provided care staff at two settings in Worthing helped create a blueprint for future activities and perfectly demonstrated the myriad benefits of introducing music into care for all those involved.

Maintaining momentum and motivation in the UK
United Kingdom
We know that, for our Partners, getting started with music is the easy bit – its keeping going that’s harder. So, we launched the Motivation Scheme in 2019 as an umbrella home for all the support activities our Partners can access to keep their momentum up.
