Art and Music In Our Care Homes
Art and music are loved activities in our care homes across Poole and Bournemouth.
At LuxuryCare, art and music play a big part in our lifestyle, not only because they bring joy to the residents, but they are also incredibly beneficial, especially for those living with dementia, as they engage and stimulate the brain in unique ways and can encourage gentle exercise.
Art and music therapies are integrated with each resident’s care plans, whether they are receiving residential care, nursing care, dementia care or are with us for respite or palliative care, both as individual activities and group tasks within our weekly activities programme.
Visit us to experience the range of art and music activities at our care home. Call us on 01202 037373 to book your visit.

Benefits of Art and Music in Care Homes
There are many benefits to art and music in care homes for all our residents.
- Cognitive stimulation and engagement – music and art both utilise the brain, triggering memories, enhancing fine motor skills and cognitive abilities, and enhancing communication.
- Emotional connection – music and art evoke emotions, reduce anxiety and improve mood.
- Social interaction – group activities encourage residents to interact with each other and outsiders running therapy sessions.
- Physical benefits – dancing and arts encourage movement, which improves motor skills, balance and strength.
