No disturbance
The music plays through headphones rather than speakers in the care unit. Talking and singing along can still be heard, of course.
Organise a music activity in the communal lounge without playing the music through speakers. Residents who want to join in get a pair of headphones. A member of care staff helps them put the headphones on and adjusts the volume together with them.
Why this works
The music plays through headphones rather than speakers in the care unit. Talking and singing along can still be heard, of course.
Let residents try the headphones first. Are they comfortable, can they hear the music well, and can they use the controls? This helps you see what support each resident needs. Does anyone use a hearing aid? Talk to us beforehand about what you could try.
