Description
Talk: Music & Arts In Caregiving (English)
Join us to understand more about Dementia and Music, choosing the right type of music and art activity for the person you are caring for and the training needed to administer music and art therapy.
Discover how music and art therapy actually works and how it improves cognitive abilities and speech, how it can help to build rapport between a caregiver and the care recipient and the benefits it can bring to a caregiver.
About the speaker:
Kumari Neeran Rai; Nurse Manager, Caregiver Asia Pte Ltd
Ms. Rai is a Nurse Manager who works with CaregiverAsia Pte. Ltd. to regulate their internal home care protocols and develop training modules for both licensed (Nurses) and non-licensed (Foreign Domestic Workers, family members) caregivers.
Apart from the above responsibilities, Ms. Rai also conducts assessments for complex cases in the home setting and derives detailed and personalised care plans for her team to execute.
Ms Rai holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nursing from Edinburgh Napier University, UK.
Having had over 10 years of experience in nursing, she has mainly worked as a registered nurse in the Intensive Care Units of our restructured hospitals for a total of 7 years before setting foot in the community and home care setting.
She believes that everyone prefers being in their own homes during their senior years, as a home is a place of memories, loved ones and familiarity. Hence, she strongly advocates for home care if the senior’s condition permits.

Enabling Festival 2019What does dementia sound like?
The Enabling Festival (6-8 September 2019) is in its second run this year. Our focus is on sound (in the form of hearing), one of the five senses. Sound has significant impact on persons with dementia in terms of their quality of life.
This three-day community festival is a kaleidoscope of multidisciplinary activities in the areas of art, music, design, theatre, film, dance, medical forums and hands-on workshops. Through these programmes and activities, we hope to showcase the potentialities in enabling persons with dementia to enjoy a better quality of life.
The festival also shines a spotlight on caregivers, who are often the invisible heroes and provides possibilities for caregivers’ respite and solace through many interesting activities. There are many activities for caregivers such as Sharing Sessions, Meditation and Breathing workshops and even a Silent Disco Party, amongst many others.
This collaboration between Enable Asia, DesignSingapore Council, National Design Centre, OneMaker Group, Project We Forgot, Alzheimer’s Disease Association (ADA), ARUP, BLOXAS Architects and the support from Our Singapore Fund (OSF) and the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) allows the second edition of the Enabling Festival to leverage on how design, art and technology can make an impact in enabling persons with dementia, their caregivers and improve the quality of their life as we aspire to be a dementia friendly community.
