Home, as a physical place and psychological construct, is often thought of as being an important locus of ontological security across the life course. However, there is a growing awareness of a darker side to the home (see Gurney, 2021), and home-unmaking practices (see Baxter and Brickell, 2014) that challenge the assumptions of home being purely a place of shelter, comfort, and control and instead foreground the temporal, material, and spatial fluidity of the home, and tensions between privacy and the ability to engage in health-harming behaviours largely unnoticed. Here, a material gerontological approach enables a rethinking of how home, and the household objects contained within, can both promote and undermine well-being as we age.

Background: The need for research on individual home therapies to promote continued community-dwelling among older adults with mild dementia is growing. This study aimed to compare the effects of individual occupation-based reminiscence therapy at home (IOBRT-H) and individual occupation-based reminiscence therapy in a dementia care centre (IOBRT-DCC) on cognitive function, depression, and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among community-dwelling older adults with mild dementia.

Background: Music has long been identified as a nonpharmacological tool that can provide benefits for people with dementia, and there is considerable interest in designing technologies to support the use of music in dementia care. However, to ensure that music technologies are appropriately designed for supporting caregivers and people living with dementia, there remains a need to better understand how music is currently used in everyday dementia care at home.
Objective: This study aims to understand how people living with dementia and their caregivers use music and music technologies in everyday caring, as well as the challenges they experience using music and technology.
