Music is a real help with dementia care. At Springboard we love to play our members favourite tunes and it’s wonderful to watch their happy faces when they recognise the song.
We have made individual playlists using @playlistforlife

Chatting with other carers is a way to share ideas, get support and help from others in a similar situation. Knowing their loved one is having fun with live music in the next room makes it even better.
New members welcome.

We had a fantastic time yesterday with Personal Trainer Sammy Goodwin. Every member joined in (even the ones who were adamant they didn’t do exercise) but a combination of Sammy’s experience, fab music and lots of laughter really worked well.

Music works so well in dementia care. We see how a familiar tune can change someone’s demeanour, words sung easily and smiles lighting up a face.
The power of music is fantastic🎶
