Dementia - Together Again
We know that dementia can be a frightening and lonely place. And dementia doesn’t just affect the person with the diagnosis – spouses or partners, and surrounding family and friends are all impacted too.
This animation explores those feelings of being lost in dementia – and how the support and guidance of an Admiral Nurse can help bring people back together again.
These Kids Have an Important Job - BBC Stories
In a care home in Walthamstow, North-East London, you will find babies, toddlers and elderly residents singing and playing musical instruments together.

Music Therapy -
Power Of Music on The Brain
If you had to make a playlist of your life, what would be on it? And if, toward the end of your life, your mind and memories were fading away, would this soundtrack help bring them back? This video takes you inside an extraordinary new program that reveals that personalised playlists can re-awaken the brains of people with advanced dementia and even allow people with severe Parkinson’s to unfreeze and move.
​
Along the way we look more deeply at the power of music in all our lives – why is it so emotional, so memorable and so powerful that even when much of the brain is gone, music can bring it alive?
Pet Therapy - Marley The Amazing Therapy Dog
Marley was a Puli – a cool-looking dog with dreadlocks. He was an agility and herding dog but excelled as a therapy dog being one of the favourites at Phoenix Children’s Hospital over 10 years ago when this video was made by Discovery Channel. The video is about a research project done by a child who had had cancer on the effects of pet therapy for children undergoing chemotherapy. Marley made so many children smile when often all else failed.
Colour Therapy - The Secret to Healing Your Body with Colour
Colour therapy offers specific colours or levels of vibrations to specific parts of the body to regenerate and rejuvenate areas that are diseased, or that are experiencing blocked or restricted energy. Often at times, the body needs only slight additional input of one or more colour vibrations out of sync due to poor diet, excessive toxicity, emotional tension, anxiety, and general improper care.
​
One method is to choose the colour which provides us with the power we need and then absorb that particular colour.
