Music therapy helps residents engage meaningfully, supporting wellbeing, connection, and quality of life. It can improve mood, encourage social interaction, and provide residents with a sense of purpose and enjoyment.
By involving staff and families, improvements can be sustained, helping residents enjoy a fuller, more connected daily life.
We understand the financial pressures facing care homes and work flexibly with each setting. Many homes commission regular sessions, spreading the cost across the whole home. Some care homes also choose to offer optional sessions that are funded directly by residents’ families. In addition, we have a bursary scheme to help ensure residents can access music therapy, regardless of financial circumstances.
