They create moods and celebrate accomplishments. It\u2019s a powerful tool that links history and builds relationships. The power of song can give people with dementia a way to express themselves.<\/p><p>Music can help people with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia.<\/p><h2>How does music affect people with dementia?<\/h2><p>What\u2019s your favorite song? It\u2019s hard to narrow it down to just one. As soon as you hear a familiar tune, the memories start coming back. While some songs are good, others involve reminders of good times.<\/p><p>People with types of dementia such as Alzheimer\u2019s have a much more difficult time remembering recent events. An article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/using-music-in-alzheimers-disease-97624\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verywell Health<\/a> mentions how people with dementia who are musically inclined may enjoy singing or playing an instrument as it\u2019s a <strong>failure-free activity<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Even into middle-stage Alzheimer\u2019s, they won\u2019t miss a beat. Experts suggest that neurocognitive disorders may not affect the area of the brain that recalls music.<\/p><p>Songs can also be an excellent distraction in extending the length of physical activity or social interactions in people with early to middle-stage dementia.<\/p><p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6022981\/#__sec10title\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> explored how a structured program of singing and listening to music led to an improvement in:<\/p><ul><li>Mood<\/li><li>Cognition<\/li><li>Orientation<\/li><li>Attention<\/li><li>Executive function<\/li><\/ul><figure id=\"attachment_3729\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3729\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-80 wp-image-3729 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/02\/havens-senior-listening-to-music-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"The Havens at Antelope Valley | Senior listening to music\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/02\/havens-senior-listening-to-music-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/02\/havens-senior-listening-to-music-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/02\/havens-senior-listening-to-music-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/02\/havens-senior-listening-to-music.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">pressmaster &#8211; stock.adobe.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2>Can music calm people with dementia?<\/h2><p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/alzheimers-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, music has the power to:<\/p><ul><li>Relieve stress<\/li><li>Reduce anxiety and depression<\/li><li>Reduce agitation<\/li><\/ul><p>Studies show that even for late-stage Alzheimer\u2019s, music is a way for people to connect. They can still tap their foot or bob their head to a beat and express emotion.<\/p><p>A powerful way music can help calm individuals with dementia is by reminding them who they are. It can reignite something inside that brings people out of their shells.<\/p><p>In the 2014 documentary \u201cAlive Inside\u201d by Michael Rossato-Bennett, audiences are introduced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fyZQf0p73QM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henry<\/a>. Henry lived with dementia for many years. It left him reserved and uninterested in most things until he was reintroduced to music.<\/p><p>Long after his playlist stops, Henry remains animated and excited to talk about how much he loves music.<\/p><p>\u201cIt gives me the feeling of love. Romance!\u201d says Henry, \u201cI figure right now the world needs to come into music.\u201d<\/p><h2>How do I introduce music to someone with Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><p>If you\u2019re caring for a loved one, you likely have insight into the music they like. Asking them for their favorite type of music is a good idea too. Once you\u2019ve established a playlist, keep these tips in mind when introducing melodies to their life:<\/p><ul><li>Use something like an MP3 player or a streaming service free of commercials to avoid confusion.<\/li><li>Eliminate outside distractions like background noise or visual stimulants like TV.<\/li><li>Encourage clapping, dancing, or tapping along to the beat.<\/li><li>Sing along to the music with them.<\/li><li>Follow their mood. Play it again if your loved one seems to enjoy some songs more than others.<\/li><li>Use different tempos for different activities. Slow and relaxing songs for calming. Something more lively when you want to boost their mood.<\/li><\/ul><h2>What is recall therapy?<\/h2><p>Recall therapy is an easy process to evoke memories. You can do it at home with a loved one using prompts. Music is an excellent way to trigger memories, but you can also use:<\/p><ul><li>Pictures<\/li><li>Family heirlooms<\/li><li>Movies<\/li><li>The taste of favorite foods<\/li><li>Aromatherapy<\/li><\/ul><p>If you\u2019re looking for a conversation starter or want to teach grandkids about their grandparents\u2019 lives, recall therapy is a great start. It\u2019s also one way the <strong>Connections<\/strong> Program helps create new bonds and relationships within the memory care neighborhood.<\/p><h2>What is Connections?<\/h2><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/memory-care\/\">Connections<\/a> <\/strong>is the data-based program created by Pegasus Senior Living\u2019s VP of Health and Wellness, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/leadership-team\/dr-sandra-petersen\/\">Dr. Sandra Petersen<\/a>. The Havens at Antelope Valley is proud to offer this program to seniors and their family members in the Lancaster, CA area.<\/p><p>Trained memory care team members follow an activity calendar for seniors with dementia.<\/p><p>It focuses on combining <strong>physical movement<\/strong>, <strong>emotional connection,<\/strong> and <strong>continued learning<\/strong> to build new neural pathways in the brain. It utilizes a process called <strong>neuroplasticity<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Neuroplasticity refers to the brain&#8217;s ability to adapt and change around damaged sections. A stroke introduced Dr. Petersen to these treatments, and she regained memory and mobility loss using many of the same techniques used in Connections today.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Where can I find out more about Alzheimer\u2019s treatment?<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Contact <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-havens-at-antelope-valley\/contact\/\">The Havens at Antelope Valley<\/a><\/strong>.
