Addressing Dementia through Music
Lost Chord is an innovative charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and well-being of those living with dementia using interactive musical stimuli to increase their general awareness and self esteem.
We invite them into our home to engage with residents through the medium of music. It is always a fun session and great to see our residents light up and participate in the sessions.
