The people living at Winifred Dell Care Home in Brentwood love to sing and dance. Listening to their favourite music from the past not only helps to boost wellbeing, but also helps to bring back fond memories.
The team build music into daily life at Winifred Dell as it has so many benefits, especially for people who live with dementia.
During a recent bank holiday, the team hosted an all-singing, all-dancing musical session with residents, to encourage them to get on their feet and show off some moves!
Lindsey and Paul who work at Winifred Dell are also talented singers, so they each took a microphone and sang along to the songs that played throughout the session. Everyone enjoyed hearing them sing which also helped to encourage people to participate in the session.
Whether they were on their feet dancing or clapping from their chairs, everyone had a smile on their face and had a brilliant time listening to some old-time classics!
Some special memories were also recalled throughout the activity from times people went dancing or saw their favourite musicians live.
It was an enjoyable and fulfilling day for all!
