Music is a form of human expression, which is no surprise considering the variety of genres and styles. Many songs are most often than not relatable for listeners. Life, which is a well of creative inspiration for musicians and artists alike, is a shared human experience.

Music is often played in an assisted living facility as it helps patients’ emotional states. Here are other perks to music that are worth knowing about:

• It triggers good memories.

  According to the researchers, when music plays, it triggers several areas in the brain, including those connected with memory recall. This is why we feel transported in time when we associate a song with a certain cherished memory of the past. Instruct your hospice aide to play your favorite album when you’re feeling down.

• It triggers good feelings.

  Music has been shown in studies to boost the hormone production of dopamine and oxytocin. Furthermore, there is some evidence that music may reduce the amount of the stress hormone cortisol. Rest assured that we have great music taste!

• It improves cognitive performance.

  Background music, while the person is primarily engaged in another task, can boost cognitive function in older persons, a study finds. Simply let us know what your favorite tunes are, so we can put them on while you solve your puzzles!

• It improves memory retention.

  When individuals learning a new language practice singing new vocabulary rather than simply standard speech or rhythmic reciting, they improve their skills and understanding.
