We love music at Lukestone Care Home and it’s no wonder why – music has ancient benefits of healing the mind and soul and there are practices where sound is used to heal stress-related illnesses, help manage pain and alleviate insomnia.
As well as all these benefits, at Lukestone therapeutic relationships created through music are strengthened, which has a positive impact on well-being. Our Choir Lead Linda and our Well-Being Lead Mihaela have developed a plan to improve our choir performances; these include easy stretching exercises to begin with, a five minute vocal warm-up and continuing with rehearsing the songs we love to sing.
In the garden, our sensory room or even residents’ rooms – music is always with us and we enjoy having fun together.
