For some, it can be a good time, and for others a form of escapism. It can motivate or mellow, provide a friend, a voice, a hobby or a career. Finding comfort in certain songs or sounds seems to come easy, so it\u2019s no surprise many of us perceive music to be therapeutical. Anyone can listen to music and feel like it\u2019s helped in some way, either by inspiring, relaxing or giving us something else to focus on. But the way most of us experience music is completely different to what happens during a \u2018music therapy\u2019 session.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Music therapy is a profession that supports the individual in greater ways, using techniques to promote communication, expression, unlock memories and evoke powerful feelings. You need to be a qualified and registered music therapist to practice in the health sector, and there are standards, regulations and training programmes to keep on top of. For this reason, it\u2019s not a service just anyone can offer. This ebook explores the basics of music therapy, what the benefits are, and what things should be considered before introducing it into your care business.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c054980 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c054980\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-1024x585.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16884\" alt=\"Music Therapy in Care Homes - CareDocs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-2048x1170.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-150x85.png 150w, https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-2-600x343.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f774f74 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f774f74\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;96f9713&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c8c229\" data-id=\"2c8c229\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90da6a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"90da6a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is music therapy?

These types of therapies can be one-on-one sessions or group activities, and provide people with a different outlet of communication to express themselves.

The potential benefits it\u2019s shown to have for dementia patients are most commonly reported, but it can be used to support treatment and care for depression, autism, cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, or individuals who require a pain management programme, to name a few. But like all therapies, every person responds differently and some may experience no benefit at all. To find out if your residents could benefit, consult a registered music therapist.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to remember that music therapy should be approached as a supplementary tool to help residents reach a personal goal related to their healthcare. At its core, listening to music can be fun and calming, but music therapy offers a much more fulfilling experience by getting people involved and invested. Music therapy can help people who find it difficult to open up or put their thoughts and feelings into words. It allows for creative expression which could help with addressing negative feelings, experiences and trauma. This makes it an ideal activity for people who feel anxious, shy or have trouble communicating.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Music therapy can be a social activity and an opportunity to bond with others using music. Group therapy sessions, especially, can help people who may feel isolated to connect with their community and make new relationships. Being a part of a group can build confidence, and feeling heard through self-expression can be empowering. Hearing familiar songs can also evoke memories of important events and create discussion points. For people with memory problems, this can be a powerful and euphoric experience. For residents with physical goals, playing certain instruments can help increase hand-eye coordination, timing and strengthen muscles.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ac0f70 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ac0f70\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;d2d45d1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-535e397\" data-id=\"535e397\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-607b83c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"607b83c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Music therapy & dementia <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2cbef1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"f2cbef1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"music-therapy-and-dementia\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e44fc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e44fc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Throughout our lifetimes, different types of art can become linked to significant moments. This is especially true for music, which plays a huge role in many lives, dating back to childhood. Hearing a song that has a personal importance can bring back memories associated with special events; relaxing with friends, a holiday, a wedding, a first dance, a funeral. For this reason, music therapy is often used to support people living with dementia.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Music can have a calming effect and provide clarity during a state of confusion. Studies have shown playing certain types of music can reduce stress and anxiety, or make you feel more positive, upbeat or nostalgic. Music therapy includes the same benefits and goes a step further. Listening to music and playing along with an instrument stimulates multiple parts of the brain simultaneously, even areas which are affected by the disease. Through creating sound, those who have trouble communicating can feel heard and communicate with others while reducing stress levels and performing essential mental exercises.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a573ed3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a573ed3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caredocs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-care-home-managers-guide-to-music-therapy-1-1024x585.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16885\" alt=\"Benefits of Music Therapy -

However, there could be a risk to wellbeing if an individual is unwilling to participate or becomes easily confused. Loud sounds can make some people nervous or uncomfortable, and softer sounds may be harder for people with hearing difficulties to process. It\u2019s important when organising a group session that everyone is aware of what to expect. In some cases, specific songs or sounds could trigger memories that might be emotional, causing unexpected reactions. But evoking emotions is normally a sign of progress in therapy and not necessarily a bad thing. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s best to plan ahead and make the therapist aware of any instruments that should not be used,\u00a0if the person can become aggressive, or if they have difficulty holding certain objects.\u00a0By\u00a0taking a person-centred approach to music therapy and setting each resident up for success,\u00a0risks can easily be avoided. The therapist will also be trained to high standards to be able to deal with\u00a0a range of scenarios.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-06b4ab7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"06b4ab7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;2ae8baa&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f53e9db\" data-id=\"f53e9db\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-939e3c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"939e3c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Getting started with music therapy <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba115de elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"ba115de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"getting-started-with-music-therapy\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ece6670 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ece6670\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When considering music therapy, you should first identify whether your residents have a genuine need for therapy. Looking through care plans is a great way to find out personal and healthcare goals. For example, if an individual is working towards increasing their communication or social skills, improving cognitive function, or desires to be more creative, then music therapy could support these outcomes. The residents should be asked if they would like to participate and explained how sessions will work and what the benefits are.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are a two routes you can take to find a music therapist. If you have a small budget, you may choose to find an organisation within the charity sector that specialises in music therapy. Charitable services aren&#8217;t always easy to find and are in high demand, but it never hurts to enquire. If you don\u2019t succeed with the first try, they may be able to recommend another option.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can also access music therapies privately, although this can be costly. A good resource to find music therapists is the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bamt.org\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">,\u00a0which have an\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bamt.org\/resources\/find-a-therapist\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">online\u00a0register<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to search for professionals based on location and what clientele they specialise in. In addition to England, the register also includes therapists in Wales and Scotland. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To ensure therapists meet the highest professional standards, music therapists who work in healthcare need to be registered with the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcpc-uk.org\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The HCPC regulate a number of professions and set the standards for their training, education and practice. You can check their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcpc-uk.org\/check-the-register\/\">online register<\/a><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0to confirm if the art therapists you\u2019re speaking to have met these standards. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you book a music therapy session, the next step is to incorporate the activity into the individual\u2019s care plan. In the document, explain what risks they might face and what goals they want to achieve, tying it together with the treatment or care it is complementing. Remember to log notes of the sessions afterward as well to add extra detail for how the therapy went and how the resident responded. Recording this will help you demonstrate the high standards of care you are delivering to assist you in achieving the best possible inspection results. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-efa4aeb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"efa4aeb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;e05f3bd&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f4814e\" data-id=\"7f4814e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ae0780 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9ae0780\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Should I introduce music therapy into my care home? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1062f24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1062f24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"should-i-introduce-music-therapy-into-my-care-home\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be2b154 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be2b154\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Music therapy is a popular form of complementary therapy in care homes. Various studies have been conducted to confirm the potential benefits, and positive results are regularly reported by care providers. This is to be used as a supplement to conventional treatment and care to work towards a goal and it\u2019s entirely possible that your residents wont experience the desired benefits. However, as with all therapies, you should discuss the needs and goals of your residents with a qualified therapist beforehand to establish whether music therapy is an appropriate activity. A trained music therapist will take a person-centred approach to give each individual the best chance of seeing positive results.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you specialise in care for individuals with learning disabilities, special needs or other mental health conditions like dementia, then music therapy could be a rewarding addition to your activity plan to support their expression and communication needs. Residents who suffer from more common problems, such as isolation, anxiety or depression, may find music therapy useful for connecting and creating new relationships while building confidence. Music therapy can be more cost-effective as a group activity, so although you should not rule it out as an individual activity, it may be worth exploring what other options are available if only one or two residents in your care are candidates for it. Alternatively, check with charities to see if they can offer support and guidance.<\/span><span
