Silver Scenes

Silver Scenes is a collection of over 5,000 images which is a powerful adjunct to listeners’ music reminiscence experiences and builds on Silver Memories’ strong clinical research foundations. Silver Scenes is included in the quarterly Access Fee at no extra charge.

Clinical Evidence on the combined use of Reminiscence Images and Music

A recent study showed the use of music and nature images improves engagement and reduces undesirable behaviours. The images rekindled childhood memories and the use of images and music resulted in higher participant engagement scores. The researchers suggested they provided positive distractions, alleviating boredom, sensory deprivation, and disengagement that are underlying causes of disordered behaviour. (1)

Silver Scenes Leverages Silver Memories’ Clinical Benefits

Silver Scenes complements Silver Memories’ proven clinical benefits, adding to listeners’ music reminiscence experiences. Silver Scenes still images are displayed on residents' TVs for 30 seconds while they listen to the Silver Memories music. This provides ample time for residents to engage, reminisce and initiate conversations. All Silver Scenes images are labelled so residents can easily identify the image’s location.
