Enrich Daily Care
The experience of personal care can sometimes be challenging for older adults and people living with dementia. Musikind enables carers to use the benefits of music during care to help build trust, soothe or provide a source of stimulation.
Learn MoreInclude All Residents
Musikind is designed with portability and ease of use in mind. This makes it perfect for room visits. Carers can provide one to one singing, listening or instrument playing activities with little to no preparation time. Musikind contains suggested conversation starters and trivia based on the music selected. It also contains specially recorded slower versions of songs for anyone who may have difficulties singing at a faster pace.

Get More From In-House Music
Our mission is to put all the varied benefits of music into the hands of carers – empowering them to use music in more ways, more often.
Get StartedResearch shows that the benefits of music go far beyond providing entertainment and that it’s one of the most stimulating and rewarding activities people can partake in during later life. Music is a non-pharmaceutical, non-verbal & highly flexible medium for supporting well-being. It’s important to see music not only as an activity but as part of daily care.
TIME-EFFECTIVE DESIGN
Carers can quickly glide from screen to screen and access the music best suited for the care situation and the individual’s preferences.
DESIGNED BY A MUSIC THERAPIST
Carers can read tips that apply to the specific use of music they have chosen. There is also an online training module for when staff have more time to learn.
PERSON-CENTRED TOOLS
Create Music Profiles and Music Plans with Musikind to begin learning more about a person’s ‘musical self’ and schedule music into their weekly routine.
Musikind gives £1 from every subscription directly to Alzheimer’s Society. Every month.
