A Huntingdon care home has signed up to the Just One Hour initiative which supports residents living with dementia
Just One Hour is inspired by research which suggests that those living in a care home can benefit from increased social interaction, particularly using music.
“Just One Hour is a revolutionary campaign and we want to start a movement of people making the world a better place for those living with dementia by improving their overall quality of life through music. Taking one small step, one person at a time, for just one hour,” said Rosie Mead, CEO of Musica and Wellbeing, who came up with the idea of the project.
