The music care approach promotes the application of sound and music to be used in formal health care settings and community or home-based contexts. Music is integral to person-centred care through integration into daily routines and practice. Music care is inclusive, offering a variety of delivery domains and a means for both intercultural and intergenerational connection. Music care can be implemented by all caregivers regardless of music ability. The intentional use of music humanizes care, deepens relationships, and enhances the care experience.w﻿ww.musiccare.orgw﻿ww.voicesthatcare.caw﻿ww.musiccareconference.com
