Dementia Care: Art and Music Interventions
Older adults with dementia lose many abilities and memories. However, through music and art, they can often still connect with their pasts and with the people around them. This course discusses how to use music and art to connect with the people you care for. It also discusses how music and art support the mental and emotional well-being of older adults with dementia. The goal of this course is to educate direct care workers and activity professionals in post-acute care settings on the use of music and art therapy to meet the psychological needs of individuals with dementia.
