She points out that even though we don&#8217;t all have the training to perform music therapy, music can still have therapeutic benefits any time. <a href=\"#\">Read the full interview with Kristen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It sounds so simple and it is: enjoy music = function better. If you aren\u2019t already using music for self-care or as part of care for your loved one with dementia, we encourage you to bust out your playlists, CDs, cassettes, or records and get reacquainted with the tunes that resonate. Now is the perfect time to dive into the melodies that mean the most to them and you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve put together our own playlist of songs that we love. We hope you enjoy it and encourage you to put your own personalized list together&nbsp;that supports the therapeutic benefits Kristen discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/5FtRuRIrs9u3dRog3LlCqU?utm_source=generator&#038;theme=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Embrace the power of music and discover how it can transform everyday moments into opportunities for meaningful connection and care.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lizzy Care is reimagining dementia care for your whole family.
