Enrich Daily Care
The experience of personal care can sometimes be challenging for elderly 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.
