IMMERSIVE MUSIC EXPERIENCES FOR CARE HOMES
Helping to enhance the quality and wellbeing of living for residents
About
Music can be an incredible tool for enhancing the quality of life and for evoking memories in people living with dementia and sensory impairments. At Silent Memories we provide wireless headset packages for care homes, offering a completely unique sensory audio experience for residents.
Keep on moving!
Care homes using Silent Memories have noted a distinct increase in engagement, animation, and stimulation amongst residents. Using headsets allows them to opt in or out of the sessions. The sessions can be taking place in a communal area and anyone not taking part won’t be distracted by the activity. With a long transmission range, it also allows patients with limited mobility to take part in their own rooms.
WHY HEADSETS?
Create a fully immersive experience through the power of headsets, helping develop a deeper sense of coherence, communication, and stimulation. The headsets contain 3 channels meaning 3 different types of music can be set up at the same time to cater for a range of musical tastes. Think meandering along to Mozart on channel 1, swinging to Vera Lynn on channel 2 or rocking out to Elvis Presley on channel 3!
By playing familiar tracks through headsets, memories and feelings can be stimulated. Music can be carefully chosen by loved ones and care workers to really enhance the experience for residents.
CASE STUDY
We have trialled the Silent Disco concept at several care homes. Our flagship home and the first one to take it on the idea was HOMECROFT in Bradford. The team there have been incredibly welcoming to the concept and very forward thinking in their approach. The feedback from the staff and family members there has been nothing but positive.
