Residents at HC-One’s Millcroft Care Home in Redditch were treated to a truly heart-warming morning of music, laughter, and togetherness thanks to a visit from Music Moments.
The uplifting session invited residents to sing along to well-loved songs, play a variety of instruments, and enjoy moving to the beat. One of the most memorable highlights of the morning was dancing with a large, colourful umbrella – a simple activity that brought an abundance of laughter, smiles, and energy to the room.
Music has a unique ability to connect people, spark joy, and support emotional wellbeing, and the benefits of sessions like these are felt long after the last note fades. Musical activities are particularly valuable in care settings, as they can help to boost mood and reduce anxiety, lifting spirits and creating a sense of positivity. The activity also helped to encourage physical movement, whether through dancing, clapping, or playing instruments, helping to support mobility in a fun way.
In addition, the musical activity helped to stimulate memory and cognition, especially for residents living with dementia, by evoking familiar tunes and lyrics. It also fostered social connection, bringing residents together in shared enjoyment and strengthening bonds within the home.
The visit from Music Moments gave residents the chance to fully immerse themselves in music and movement, creating joyful moments that residents and colleagues alike will cherish. The home and residents are now looking forward to a return visit from Music Moments on Monday 3rd November at 11am.
