Music Therapy for the Elderly
Many elderly people who are in the middle to late stages of dementia frequently express a desire to “get home” or find a sense of belonging. They may have lost their sense of self and sense of control over their lives as a result of the disease process. We try to think of methods to bring out their personalities and the distinctive person that they are. One of the few things that simultaneously engages and stimulates the entire brain of our aging loved ones is music therapy for the elderly.
