As Featured on BBC Three Counties Radio
Dance Down Memory Lane
Recorded Live for Dementia Awareness Week
We were honoured to welcome BBC Three Counties Radio to one of our care home sessions during Memories and Dementia Awareness Week.
They recorded a live Dance Down Memory Lane session, capturing the joy, music, laughter, and meaningful moments shared between residents and our team.
This special broadcast shines a light on the power of music to connect, uplift, and unlock memories, and beautifully reflects what Ragdolly Annas is all about.
Listen to the live recording:
Music as Therapy
More UK Care Homes are realising that their residents benefit greatly from music in many unexpected ways. Feedback from Ragdolly Annas sessions in care situations, speak of the overall benefits like improved general cognition, emotional boosts in mood and less depression, plus a sudden interest in engaging and singing along.
Clients appear more alert, happier and had higher recall of past personal history. Some, who would not talk at all were found to suddenly sing along to a song, recalling all the words. It is person-centred, enabling and empowering.
