Using Music to Develop a Multisensory Communicative Environment for People with Late-Stage Dementia.

Background And Objectives: Research has indicated the benefit of music interventions on biological, psychological, and cognitive aspects of dementias, yet there is limited research focusing on music's role in communication. This study developed a conceptual understanding of how people with late-stage dementia may express themselves nonverbally and interact with others during a live music group over time.

Research Design And Methods: Eight people with advanced dementias in residential care (aged 82-97 years), four care staff, and three musicians participated in 8-hr-long weekly live Music for Life sessions and listened to 1-hr-long recorded music session.

Live and recorded group music interventions with active participation for people with dementias: a systematic review.

: This literature review examined the existing evidence base for the impact of both live and recorded music interventions involving active participation in a dementia population. : PsycINFO, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched and 15 studies met inclusion criteria. : There was a positive impact on behavioural and psychological symptoms, quality of life, communication and some aspects of cognitive function; methodological limitations, however, make it difficult to offer firm conclusions.
