This qualitative study explored the caregivers’ observations regarding the impact of music listening on changes in social interaction and communication for individuals with dementia. Pre-intervention, all caregivers reported limited verbal communication, receptive language difficulties, decreased social interactions, and regularly expressed negative emotions. Improved quality of life was reported post-intervention.
