Arts for Health Cornwall and Isles of Scilly have released a training resource that supports staff and carers in organising and leading music sessions for elderly clients.
The Singing for Well-being toolkit has been developed following the positive feedback received from clients and care staff from previous singing projects which described the benefits of singing with their elderly clients, especially those with dementia.
The toolkit includes an inspirational film (DVD) to promote the benefits of music based creative activities as well as incorporating specific staff training and development information, which focuses on engaging elderly clients with singing based musical activity
