For some people living with dementia, engaging in social activities and having one-on-one interactions has been shown to effectively reduce agitation. 🎵 Music and musical activities have proven to be beneficial and enjoyable, facilitating social communication for older individuals who may have difficulty communicating. Research shows that musical interventions provide opportunity for those living with dementia to express themselves, connect with others, and are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. 🔗 Learn more about music-based interventions in aged care: https://zurl.co/LglKx #AgedCare #ActiveAging #PhysicalActivity #HealthyLiving #QualityOfLife #Music #Dementia #DementiaCare

Cognitive health is the ability to think clearly, plan, remember and learn. People living with dementia experience a gradual decline in this cognitive function. However, there are effective ways to maintain and improve cognition! 🔹 Cognitive training: Practice everyday activities like memory, attention, problem-solving, and planning with games like solitaire, Sudoku, and puzzles. 🔹 Cognitive rehabilitation: Improve daily functions using memory aids or prompts for tasks like dressing or making a sandwich. 🔹 Reality Orientation Therapy: Caregivers help by sensitively repeating the date, time, and location to assist those with mild to moderate dementia.
