Can Music Therapy Benefit the Elderly?

• From seniors who are experiencing depression due
  to a recent medical diagnosis to those receiving
  dementia home care in Plantation , music therapy
  has numerous benefits for the elderly. As part of
  a treatment plan, music can help promote various
  aspects of your loved ones emotional, cognitive,
  and physical health.

It Reduces Stress and Agitation

• Your loved one may experience stress as a result
  of his or her medical conditions, financial
  problems, medical treatments, or family
  disagreements. Listening to music can help soothe
  your loved one and reduce this stress. Sometimes
  seniors receiving Plantation Alzheimer's care can
  become agitated due to their inability to
  communicate, but music therapy has been shown to
  reduce this agitation and promote calm feelings.

4
It Boosts Cognition

• Hearing a familiar song can bring up memories and
  feelings from the past. With the help of music
  therapy, your loved one can preserve important
  memories and process his or her thoughts. A 2000
  study found seniors with dementia, including
  those who were no longer able to communicate,
  responded positively when songs that were a part
  of their earlier lives were played.

5
It Helps with Communication

• Seniors who participate in music therapy can make
  decisions faster, speak more clearly, and answer
  questions better. A study done by researchers at
  Willamette University in 2000 found music therapy
  is effective in slowing down the loss of
  communication skills that can occur in the
  elderly. Additionally, seniors with Alzheimer's
  who have lost the ability to communicate can
  often still hum or sing songs from their past
  when music is played.

6
It Inspires Movement and Exercise

• Music can inspire inactive seniors to move their
  bodies and get some exercise, increasing their
  circulation and helping them manage their weight.
  Even some seniors who use wheelchairs can tap
  their feet and move their arms in time to the
  music, which can help keep them physically
  engaged.
