Music Therapy Highlighted as Tool in Dementia Care
Original: ‘Music Is Medicine’: Dementia care
Care providers on Martha's Vineyard are promoting music as a form of therapy for people living with dementia, under the banner 'Music Is Medicine'. Familiar songs can reach patients when other forms of communication fail, easing agitation and sparking memories. Families and carers are being encouraged to use personalised playlists as a simple, low-cost complement to standard dementia treatment.
Why now: Growing interest in non-drug approaches to dementia care has put music therapy in the spotlight.
