Annotation | This brief article reports on recent work in care homes in England that are using music to communicate to those with dementia in particular, as well as to other residents. Often, the session involves just a piano with someone playing music from the past decades. The work of a new radio station, Bettercaring Radio, is also attempting to address this need, by being the first one to provide programming specifically for care home residents across the UK. Bettercaring Radio is a partnership between online care home search engine and magazine Bettercaring.com and hospital radio broadcaster Hospital Radio Wey (HRW), a registered charity established some 40 years ago. Bettercaring Radio broadcasts from 7am to 11pm every day, with recorded broadcasts played throughout the night; it is a subscription based service. (KJ/RH). |
