Tapping away with good memories

Sarah Mason 21st Jan, 2026   0

CARE HOME residents took a trip down memory lane with a music-led activity.

Blythe Rose used the power of music from past decades to encourage residents and their families to engage through familiar music and movement.

Whether it’s a well-known classic or a song that once filled the dancefloor, the music often sparks recognition and emotional response, particularly for those living with dementia.

The initiative is designed to support ’s person-centred approach to dementia care. Families are encouraged to join in, creating shared moments that can prompt memories and strengthen relationships.

Bhav Amlani, director of Macc Care Group, said: “Music has the remarkable power to unlock memories and connect us in deeply personal ways – particularly for those living with dementia.

“At Macc Care, we see time and again how these small, thoughtful experiences, like the Reminiscence Roadshow, make a meaningful difference. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about creating connections and bringing joy to our homes.




“We’re proud to see Blythe Rose leading with such creativity and compassion in its approach to dementia care.”

By using music as a tool for reminiscence, Blythe Rose continues to focus on the small but significant experiences that contribute to residents’ overall wellbeing.
