Music therapy
Music therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals living with dementia, and at Peaceful Place, we recognise its profound impact by holding weekly sessions in partnership with Suffolk Music Therapy.
These sessions, led by a skilled therapist provide a therapeutic and joyful experience that goes far beyond entertainment.
For individuals with dementia, music therapy can help stimulate memory, improve mood, and reduce agitation or anxiety. Music has a unique ability to tap into memories and emotions, often connecting with areas of the brain that remain intact despite cognitive decline. Familiar tunes can evoke positive memories, helping individuals reconnect with their past and offering moments of clarity and joy. The rhythmic and structured nature of music can also aid with concentration, allowing participants to engage more fully in the present moment.​
At Peaceful Place, these music therapy sessions create a space where participants feel valued,engaged, and uplifted. Group singing, rhythm exercises, and listening activities encourage social interaction, communication, and emotional expression, which helps foster a sense of community and belonging.
Through our collaboration with Suffolk Music Therapy, we are committed to supporting the well-being of each individual, using music to enhance their quality of life, encourage self-expression, and strengthen social bonds.
