Lizzy Care is reimagining dementia care and providing the resources for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges.
When we want to lift our moods, have a good cry, or connect back to a different time, we turn to the music that has influenced our lives. Music can be an incredible tool as our brains age, even when dementia affects our everyday lives.
In our special interview with Kristen Stewart, experienced music therapist and Assistant Director of The Louis Armstrong Department of Music Therapy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, she shared valuable insights into how music therapy is not just beneficial but essential in dementia care. She points out that even though we don’t all have the training to perform music therapy, music can still have therapeutic benefits any time. Read the full interview with Kristen here.
It sounds so simple and it is: enjoy music = function better. If you aren’t already using music for self-care or as part of care for your loved one with dementia, we encourage you to bust out your playlists, CDs, cassettes, or records and get reacquainted with the tunes that resonate. Now is the perfect time to dive into the melodies that mean the most to them and you.
We’ve put together our own playlist of songs that we love. We hope you enjoy it and encourage you to put your own personalized list together that supports the therapeutic benefits Kristen discussed.
Embrace the power of music and discover how it can transform everyday moments into opportunities for meaningful connection and care.
