AN INTERNATIONAL charity with more than 20 years’ experience of bringing the benefits of music therapy to people around the world has been working in a Lochaber care home.
Music as Therapy International has been training staff at the Abbeyfield care home in Ballachulish, a nursing and residential care home for elderly people with dementia.
The project aims to give staff the skills to use music therapy techniques with the residents, giving them the chance to make music together, build stronger relationships and form a new way to communicate their feelings.
