5 levels were assessed:
Interest
Response
Initiation

Project results:
Improvements were evidenced for each group member on all of the 5 levels.
Pauline's Story...
Taster sessions for care homes:
This evidence has enabled discussions with other care homes around providing group sessions.
Through the Key Changes Dementia Fund, 4 free taster sessions are being provided per home.
Impressed by the responses in these sessions, homes managers are now committing to continuing this music therapy provision through Key Changes.
