Abstract
Methods: This paper explores how person-centred musical activities were used in HOMESIDE (Baker et al. 2019, 2023), an internationalRCT exploring music and reading in dementia care. Demographic, case summary, and diary data were analysed from 10 participant pairs, across 5 countries.
Results: Listening to music was the most used activity. Dyads changed their approach over time and incorporated varied forms of music into daily life. Benefits were described in physical, behavioural, psychological, cognitive, and relational areas.
Conclusions: This research highlights the benefits of music training for informal caregivers. A "Triangle of care" approach to provide care and support for the caregiver and care recipient is recommended.
