I too use a musical program. And I find that my resident does not want to dance or drum. But sometimes she will sing. And most times the musical from an era that she is familiar with is enough because she can express herself more easily than a lengthy conversation. So people are just toe rappers I guess.

This is an excellent idea! I started putting lavender in the room for my friend. It helps whenever she resists taking the last dose meds before bed. I let her smell the lavender scent and it seems to make the task a little more pleasant for her.
