A recurring problem however, has been the difficulties people with dementia face when trying to operate modern music playing equipment. The beneficial effects of music for people with dementia are quite outstanding both for improving the quality of life, especially when living alone, and for its healthy restorative effects on cognizance and lucidity. The restorative effect of music therapy vastly improves the quality of life at home, mental well-being, and promotes independent living rather than relying on institutional resources.
Research has confirmed both the benefits of providing people who have dementia with music they remember, and the need for easy operation that such people require. Playing music to people with dementia from their formative years vastly improves their cognizance and lucidity - the effects are dramatic, and are widely recognized by dementia and Alzheimer professionals.
