From a former music teacher reconnecting with a cherished part of his identity to a resident finding closure while reflecting on regrets at the end of life, the programme at MWS Nursing Home – Yew Tee has unlocked moments of connection and healing among residents through familiar songs and music-making. It has also proven especially effective in engaging residents with deeper psychosocial needs who are resistant to other activities.
