At Alderbrook, we believe in the power of music to uplift spirits, evoke memories, and bring joy to our residents. Music is more than just entertainment; it’s a powerful tool that can soothe, stimulate, and connect us on a profound level. 

Our residents love to dance and sing along to their favourite tunes, and our dedicated team is always ready to create a jovial atmosphere. Whether it’s a lively sing-along or a gentle background melody, music has the ability to transport us to another time and place, bringing comfort and happiness. 

The rhythm of music can also help to improve physical and cognitive function. Studies have shown that music therapy can enhance mood, reduce stress, and improve memory and concentration. By incorporating music into our daily activities, we strive to create a vibrant and enriching environment for all our residents. 

Home Manager Clare says, “Music is an integral part of our activities program. It not only uplifts our residents’ spirits but also has cognitive and emotional benefits. We’ve noticed a significant positive impact on their mood and engagement. Seeing them smile, sing, and dance fills our days with joy and it’s always amazing to see some of our residents on their feet dancing. 

We have lots of musicians who are experienced in working with adults with complex care needs including dementia who are brilliant at interacting with and entertaining our residents. We regularly hold interactive music mornings with Musical Moments or Richard with his acoustic guitar. 

So, let the music play, and let the joy of music fill the air at Alderbrook!
