I don't know about any of you, but music is truly how I express myself in many situations. My family instantly knows what kind of mood I am in simply by what type of music I am listening to. If I am seeking encouragement during challenging times, I will be listenting to my gospel music. If my
Beyonce is on blast, I am feeling super confident!! LOL If you hear anything slow by Aretha Franklin playing in the background, I am probably trying to figure out how I am feeling about my husband in that moment. 😉 And I can go on and on with so many examples. My point is, music has a way of illiciting feelings and thoughts that may have been suppressed. Music can take a person back to a place that brings warm thoughts and happy memories as well as sadness and grief. What are you listening to today?

Music is a universal language, one that can nurture our emotions, lighten our moods, and even improve our overall health. In fact, many years of research suggest that music can have significant health benefits ― especially for people living with dementia.

In addition to the way listening to music lightens mood in general, music interventions directed by a trained music therapist have also been examined as a type of therapy for people with dementia.

One large systematic reviewTrusted Source
from 2020 explored the effects of music therapy on dementia. In this review, the researchers evaluated 82 studies on the benefits of music therapy for cognitive function, behavioral and psychological symptoms, and quality of life in people living with dementia.

According to the review, some studies found that music therapy may help improve memory, cognition, daily functioning, and quality of life in people with dementia. But the biggest impact of music therapy was in the area of behavioral and psychological symptoms like depression, anxiety, and agitation.

A more recent review from 2021Trusted Source
explored the effectiveness of music therapy for multiple conditions, including dementia. Results of the review found that music therapy not only improved mood symptoms like depression and anxiety but also improved memory in people with mild Alzheimer’s disease.

Furthermore, engaging in activities that promote connection—like music, art, or gentle touch—can also foster communication without words and nurture a sense of companionship. It's also important for caregivers to practice self-care and seek support, as the emotional toll of caregiving can be challenging.By becoming more attuned to the non-verbal signals of those we care for, and approaching these interactions with kindness and understanding, we can create a more supportive and enriching environment for individuals with dementia. Together, these efforts can facilitate a better quality of life and enhance the emotional bond between caregivers and those they support.FYI: Senior911 will be hosting caregiver support groups at their Seawood Personal Care Homes beginning in April on 4/10/2025 and every second Thursday thereafter. This meeting is open to any all caregivers who are looking for resources and an opportunity for a safe space to grieve, reflect, and be heard.
