I would like to hear from people about group serenity sessions in dementia ( secure area) residential aged care that may last for 45 minutes. I am running out of ideas as many residents are at different stages.

hi Lynn

a music therapy session is great have a song book for residents to follow have a special place to hold this so your not disturbed sing a hello song and ask each person to pick a song and everyone sing it together keep going around the group when you are finished sing a goodbye song , you will find everyone focused and some good meemories will come out in conversation also the calm and happy feelings last for some time after the session i do this and it works amazingly well good luck .
