Bristol Care Homes is launching Singing for the Brain in collaboration with Alzheimer’s Society
We are delighted to announce the launch of Singing for the Brain, a special monthly event that we, Bristol Care Homes, are organising in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society. This unique initiative is designed to support people living with dementia, using the joy and power of music to spark memories, boost well-being, and create lasting connections.
What is Singing for the Brain?
Singing for the Brain is more than just a sing-along – it’s a chance for people living with dementia to reconnect with cherished memories through familiar songs. Music has been shown to have a profound effect on memory and mood, especially for those with cognitive challenges. By bringing people together in a friendly, supportive environment, this event helps build social connections while providing a fun and engaging activity for all involved.
The Power of Music for Dementia
Research has long highlighted the benefits of music for those living with dementia. Familiar songs can trigger memory recall, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional well-being. The act of singing together also helps foster a sense of belonging and connection, which is vital for both those living with dementia and their caregivers.
Event Details
The events will take place on a monthly basis in 2 of the Bristol Care Homes care homes:
- Quarry House Care Home, Adelaide Place, Channons Hill, Fishponds, Bristol BS16 2ED
- Glebe House Care Home: 5 Sundays Hill, Lower Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4DS
