Description

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a person living with dementia (PWD) in a dementia friendly virtual chorus group from perspectives of CP. The specific survey questions for CP addressed PWD’s ability to participate in choral activities, social aspects of the chorus and perceived social isolation, and the impact of COVID-19 on their overall well-being. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected for data analysis. Some challenges are to be expected about the changes from in-person to virtual, but overall, the continued effect of music being able to lift moods of CP and PWD.
