| Annotation | This book shows formal and informal caregivers how to use music to enhance the quality of life of older adults - including those with physical impairments and dementia. It offers strategies for using music to: provide diversion for inactivity, discomfort, and daily routine; decrease symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia and agitation; handle problem behaviours; provide physical and mental stimulation; help in physical rehabilitation; help in the management of pain and in palliative care; and relieve stress and tension associated with caring for older adults. The use of music to enhance spirituality is also covered. |
