Memories throughout our lifetime are associated with music and are preserved throughout dementia.
Our multi-sensory approach uses music to create moments of joy, remembrance, and connection.
Silent Disco Technology:
Step into a world where each participant is enveloped in their own musical universe. Our specially designed headphones stream different audio channels simultaneously, ensuring a personalized and immersive experience. Tune in to the rhythm of your choice, block out distractions, and create your own musical space.
Our Musical Engagement Program:
Day By Day Project’s dedicated team has spent 8 years researching, designing, and testing a program that brings moments of joy, remembrance, and connection to those impacted by dementia. Guided by science and empathy, we’ve curated a collection of songs, interactions, and strategies that touch hearts and minds alike.
The Memory Disco solves three barriers to engagement in dementia care.
Hearing Matters : Headphones adjust to individual’shearing needs.
Focus Unleashed : Block out distraction for deeper engagement.
On Demand : Create music engagement any time,anywhere,by anyone.
Dementia rapidly reduce the attention span of a person, making it difficult for them to focus
and engage with music.
The use of headphones automatically engages all of each participant’s available attention span, maximising engagement.
A decline in hearing ability is common amongst the aging population and accelerated by dementia limiting engagement.
Each headphone has its own adjustable volume.
Alternatives such as bringing in live music are often hard and expensive to consistently bring to our loved ones.
Using technology to fill this gap, a silent disco can bring engaging musical experiences into any space, at any time, by anyone.
What problems do we solve?
REVOLUTIONIZING GROUP PROGRAMMING
One care partner can easily create engaging, multi-sensory programming for up to 25 residents at a time. This can alleviate burnout, aid with understaffing, and increase caregiver retention.
BUILDING CONNECTION
We create an environment that allows care partners and care receivers to experience the same musical experience, interacting with each other through the universal language of music. This allows for new memories filled with joy, remembrance, and connection like never before.
What does the package include?
We have 5 different sizes of Memory Disco Packages, varying in the number of headphones and maracas. These varying sizes allow you to buy the best package for your family or facility’s needs.
