Primary outcomePrimary: Participants' Programme Adherence as % Sessions Attended Out of the Possible Maximum Number of Sessions Delivered Per Care Home Aggregated as % Across All Care Homes. — 116 Delivered Sessions
Summary
* The investigators wanted to find out if digital music and movement resources could be delivered in care homes. They rolled out a 12-week programme to 10 care homes and had 47 care home residents participate in the research.
* The investigators also wanted to find out under what circumstances the digital music and movement resources would be most effective for the health and wellbeing of the care home residents.
* A survey measuring the number of falls in the past three months, activities of daily living and health, psychosocial wellbeing (anxiety, depression, stress and loneliness), sleep satisfaction and frailty measures such as appetite and weight loss) was completed before and after the intervention. Also, interviews with residents and focus groups with staff were done after the intervention to find out how they felt about the programme.
