Music for Dementia - Playlist for Life

Playlist for Life — sharing the power of personal music for dementia

Playlist for Life is a UK music and dementia charity. They harness the powerful effects of personal music to help anyone who lives with dementia, their families and carers. Whether it’s the music from a first dance, lullabies from childhood or a theme tune from a favourite TV show, music has the ability to take us back in time and remind us of our past, giving you that flashback feeling. Sharing your songs and memories can help people living with dementia to connect with family, friends and carers.

Over two decades of scientific research has shown that listening to a personal playlist can improve the lives of those living with dementia. In fact, listening to music that is personally meaningful has many psychological benefits, meaning anyone can benefit from a playlist.

Personal playlists can:

reduce anxiety
improve your mood
make difficult tasks more manageable
evoke memories that can help families and carers connect

Making a playlist is easy! You don’t have to be a technology expert or buy any new equipment to get started. The Playlist for Life website has lots of free information to help you create a playlist: www.playlistforlife.org.uk.’
