24.01.2022 Today is World Alzheimer’s Day and we wanted to share this beautiful moment of staff dancing with Jesse at Umina Park Burnie, OneCare in Tasmania. Jesse is normally isolated and withdrawn and doesn't normally participate in most activities. Staff trialled the headphones and music from our program with him and he now loves listening to music and often gets up to dance! He is now calmer and more connected. We love the way our program brings people alive and improves their wellbeing. On this day we would love to be impacting so many more with experiences like this. Pls like and share to get the word out there to help many more in communities and care to experience the magic.

23.01.2022 Announcing our Lifestyle Legends Winners for October 2020 - Allity Riddell Garden! Congratulations!! The Moove & Groove program has been so successful in your Memory Support Unit since you started introducing it over a month ago. Here is one of their lovely ladies - Lynette - who joined in to their art group. While she was doing her art, she was offered a pair of headphones to listen to music while she painted. She sang along to the laid back jazz music. We love it!

11.01.2022 We are excited to share very preliminary research results from our research partnership with Australian Catholic University Strathfield and Uniting. Early analysis of staff surveys suggests that the Moove & Groove programpositively impacts dementia-related behaviours during use, including reducing vocal disruption (80%), agitation (73%), pacing (70%) and apathy (70%) and 65% of staff say our program could lead to a reduction in theuse of psychotropic medications that are sometimes used in the homes. Best of all during the pandemic with so many feeling isolated 80% of staff say that silent disco technology has provided them with a vehicle for connection withresidents in many different ways. #dementiaawareness #IDC2020 You can read our full press release about the research here https://www.mooveandgroove.com.au/researchpress/

11.01.2022 As part of Dementia Week 2020 Moove & Groove's Founder and CEO Alison Harrington gives valuable insight into our activities like corridor singalongs, socially-distanced bingo or virtual exercise classes on the morning talk show Today Extra on Channel 9. If you have missed the interview including footage of beautiful residents tapping along to Rock'n Roll at Umina Park Burnie, OneCare, you can still watch it here.

09.01.2022 Wonderful seeing so many enjoying the daily benefits of our program ! - A snap from the care home of our amazing partners Uniting getting their residents up and moving for the day !

09.01.2022 Auditory memory is one of the last things to leave us and music from the most formative stages of our lives tends to hold on the strongest.If you have not seen this beautiful video that has gone viral and the story behind Marta, the former ballerina you can see here. She awakens to her past self and moves gracefully to Swan Lake. We are hearing so many powerful stories as our program awakens and connects those living with dementia.. sometimes it really feels like magic... but it is the power of music!
