A new facility in the United Kingdom called Priory Grange is opening with a 1970s-inspired ward for residents in their 50s. The idea behind the concept is to create an environment that takes these early Dementia patients back to a time that they hold dear, and the sound of vinyl records play an integral part. The BBC spoke to Linda Hallett a representative for the facility who said, "We're looking at a time in their lives when they were in their early 20s," she continued. "And music. of course. We tend to stay quite focused on the music of our early 20s."
The Rooms are fitted with Retro wallpaper, posters, artwork, and even lava lamps. Of course there will also be vinyl record players with a selection of music from back in the day. It's cool to see such an innovative care home, and really interesting to see the integral part music and vinyl are playing in these patients recovery.
