The Role of Music in Dementia Care

Music and Memory™ at Misericordia Health Centre


The Misericordia Health Centre has published a document summarizing the current research and understanding of the role of music in dementia care. 

While this document is intended for long-term care workers and program directors, it also contains valuable insight into music's affect on the brain, the relationship between music and quality of life and insight into different dementia centered music programs across Canada. 

The document can be accessed through the University of Manitoba website at Music and Memory™

If you are interested in music and dementia care you can also view the documentary Alive Inside which is available online or through Netflix.
