How they work:.
Research has proved that music lights up more parts of the brain than any other activity known to mankind. If that's not enough, some research in the USA says that the receptor in the brain that receives the music signal is never affected by dementia.
The MP3 music players we design are bespoke to the individual. We ask family and close friends to tell us 15 absolute favourite songs for the person with dementia. With our players every song will be a favourite.
We found that, by placing the MP3 headphones on residents with dementia intermittently during the day, their brain activity is stimulated and switches on all kinds of emotions - even bringing back the ability to converse in some cases. We have found that whilst the music is playing they can remember where they heard the music, what they were doing at the time and possibly in some cases how they used to love playing a musical instrument. It is without a doubt amazing to witness.
The other benefits are - when this is done no less than 30 minutes prior to mealtimes - they start to enjoy themselves, move about, sing along and feel more like eating and drinking. There is no reason whatsoever why they can’t also take meals whilst listening to music in their earphones.
The MP3s are small in size and the earphones are comfy, they are not just earbuds but the wider cushion effect earphones. These must be monitored by staff if clients are prone to throwing things or become very fidgety or distressed. This is NOT a one size fits all and we do not claim success every time but we have always worked on the theory that if it works for just a few people and helps them have a better quality of life, it is worthwhile. We have been working and collating evidence on this for the last few years and have had some incredible results and feedback.
Purple Angel can deliver this for free because we raise funds for it. The problem: The MP3 players have become so popular we are being inundated with orders. At the Purple Angel, we will continue to provide as many as possible but please help us to fundraise for this much needed cause! For more details ABOUT ORDERING AND FUNDRAISING please email:

REPORTS from a care establishment:
We have had 13 MP3 players with personalized music and headphones. Out of the 13 residents, we have seen positive changes in 11 residents and some unbelievable changes that have astounded us. For one resident that the MP3 player did not work for, we gave it to another resident not eating and drinking and spending most of the day asleep. This resident is now alert, eating and drinking.
We have 2 residents who were on end of life that have come back to life since the introduction of the MP3 players.
What we have seen residents speaking more, residents who never communicate verbally have been speaking. Residents have been putting on weight and have been much more alert.
Staff have been so excited by the results they have asked us to request more MP3 players for other residents. Families who have seen the reaction of residents listening to the MP3 players have asked if we can get them for their relatives.
The difference the MP3 players have made has to almost be seen to be believed. With BG who was approaching the end of her life, not accepting personal care, not eating or drinking and was very thin. To see her now right from the moment she had her MP3 player – singing, dancing, smiling, talking, eating and drinking and has gained some weight. Every day I see her, I still cannot believe the change.
Here is some of the feedback received:
Norm Mac WORLD FIRST AND SO PROUD, HUGE TEAM EFFORT
Feedback from SWAST "South West Ambulance Service" UK who are the first in the world to use the Purple Angel dementia Campaign Music Mp3s within ambulances taking people to the hospital, which as you will read, is helping MORE than just dementia patients and also helping the hardworking paramedics and Ambulance staff
‘PATIENT 1, The patient was much more relaxed when listening to the music – she said…….”I love the music, I don’t feel like crying any more!”
‘PATIENT 2, The smile on the patient’s face was priceless – she was singing along! I kept her interest by asking her what she could hear. A great distraction. The patient had learning difficulties.
‘PATIENT 3, The headphones are a huge improvement, they are much more comfortable and less distracting for the patient. The patient had mild to moderate dementia and listened happily to the music – a positive experience.’
Other earlier feedback:
Patient One ....‘The patient was not a dementia patient but was the end of life/palliative care. Introducing the music clearly made the patient more relaxed, allowing her to smile for the first time whilst the crew were on the scene.’
Patient Two.......‘Patient who was 91 years of age was enjoying the music and appeared to be singing along as they were mouthing the words
.’ Patient Three........‘Patient clearly calm once he’d listened to a few tracks. He hummed along for a while, then fell asleep.
’ Patient Four ...........‘Patient was intoxicated so unable to explain clearly how she felt, she did motion with a thumbs up that the music was helping her with her anxiety.
’ IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE .....................I have had 5 feedback forms so far and all report a clear decrease in anxiety levels in the patient after applying the music therapy – all volunteers are reporting that the new earphones are far easier and are having more success with them.

HOW IT WORKS..........
Research has PROVED that music lights up more electrodes in the brain than any other activity known to mankind. If that's not enough, some research in the USA says that the receptor in the brain that receives the music signal being emitted is never affected by dementia, so put the two together and what do you get ??
Please, let me explain........
If it was a simple as just playing music to those with dementia then everybody would do it, but it's not, we have taken it a couple of steps farther. The MP3 music players we design are bespoke to the individual client which means we ask family and close friends to tell us the absolute favorite songs/tunes musicals the person with the dementia likes (Average about 12-15 tracks ) The reason for this is, as in life, when you but a CD of your favourite artists there is always one or two tracks that you won't like. With this, every song will be a favorite of theirs. This is what makes it so different. So, now here comes the science bit, not really, it is really so simple. Headphones appear to work better than just listening to a CD.
We have found by placing the MP3 players on the heads of those clients we have just mentioned no less than 30 mins before mealtimes, or even intermittently during the day, the brain activity is stimulated by this and therefore switches on all kinds of emotions and brings the ability to converse to the forefront in some cases. We have found that whilst the music is playing they if asked, can start to remember where they heard the music, what they were doing at the time and possibly in some cases how they used to love playing a musical instrument. it is without a doubt amazing to witness.
The other benefits are because they start to enjoy themselves, move about, sing along etc when this is done prior to mealtimes they feel more like eating and drinking, and there is no reason whatsoever they cant do this whilst listening to music in their earphones.
The MP3s are small in size and the earphones are comfy, they are not just earbuds but the wider cushion effect earphones but i have to explain that these must be monitored by staff if clients are prone to throwing stuff or becoming very fidgety or distressed, this is NOT a one size fits all and we do not claim it works for all but we have always worked on the theory that if it works for just one and helps them have a better quality of life its all been worth it. We have been working and collating evidence on this for the last few years and have had some incredible results and feedback, but i must stress again it does not work for all.
If you wish to do this for yourselves then all you have to do is order a suitable MP3 from the web, with cushion earphones, find out twelve to fifteen all time favourite songs the person with dementia enjoys, download them onto the MP3 and there you have it!!! (If the person is no longer able to give their preferred songs themselves, then ask family and friends which ones!)
The reason we are sharing this is that we at the Purple Angel believe there are so many companies out there making so much money from dementia at HUGELY inflated prices. We deliver this for free because we raise funds for it. The problem is its become so popular we are being inundated with orders!!! And as you can imagine we only have so much funding to go around, but with a little fundraising (You will be surprised how cheap it is to do this) and a little bit of up to date TECCY Knowledge, how much you can improve people lives.
We will here at the Purple Angel continue to provide as many as possible but we do urge all Purple Angel ambassadors and supporters to take this on and lets help so many people
I hope this helps and explains in PLAIN ENGLISH how these work
Very best wishes, Norrms and family xxxxxxxx
