Celebrating the Power of Music

International Music Day and the Benefits of Music

Music can positively support mental health, physical well-being, and social connection for people of all ages and abilities. Participatory arts programs help individuals stay engaged, connected, and active within their communities.

Music at Foulkeways

At Foulkeways, musical appreciation is embraced throughout the year. The Foulkeways Music & Memory® program, founded in 2008, supports Residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia by creating personalized playlists.

These playlists are used as a therapeutic tool to help improve mood, increase awareness, and enhance quality of life for people experiencing memory loss.
