Award-winning music therapy

Erin Fothersgill - Aughton Park’s music therapist:

"I work with residents in individual and group music therapy sessions. I provide individual sessions for those with a diagnosis of dementia to help lessen the neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia such as agitation, depression, and anxiety.

"I use music as a tool to aid in the retention of cognitive skills like memory and attention. I also provide group sessions to help all residents in the home be involved in active participation in musical and therapeutic activities such as singing, talking and playing instruments together."

Dedicated dementia care

MHA is one of the pioneers of person-centered specialist dementia care in the UK. Our first specialist dementia care home opened in 1989 and since then we have continued to develop our approach in our care homes and retirement apartments across the UK.

Everyone with dementia is different. That's why a person-centered approach is key: at Aughton Park, we take time to get to know each individual’s history, personality and preferences, and find ways to make every day fulfilling.
