The Centre For Music and Mental Health recently started a choir with the residents of a dementia unit at the Gardens Of West Shore nursing home in Camp Hill, PA. The residents enjoy weekly rehearsals and experience joy, friendship and a sense of community. We have even found that participating in the choir has improved some of the participants' cognitive functioning! On April 12, 2023 we held our first concert, where family and friends celebrated the choirs' hard work.
The Centre for Music and Mental Health had its second concert on April 15, 2024 at the Gardens of West Shore Nursing home in Camp Hill, PA. This year, we had even more participants! We conducted interviews with staff members who reported that choir members looked forward to choir practice, seemed happier, and improved their friendships. They also noticed residents could recall song lyrics and would sing them in between practice sessions.
