Study Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to learn if a music therapy treatment, called AMUSED, can improve engagement and reduce behavioral symptoms in older adults with severe dementia who live in care facilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it feasible to conduct a full-scale trial of AMUSED? * Can investigators identify the best outcome measures to assess impact on behavioral symptoms of dementia? * Does speech offer a useful indicator of treatment effectiveness? Researchers will compare a group-based music therapy treatment to a reading activity to learn if music therapy leads to greater improvements in behavioral symptoms and speech patterns. Participants will: * Participate in either music therapy (includes live music, singing, and rhythmic instrument playing) or a reading group with stories about life and nature and talk about memories. * Attend small group sessions twice a week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting 40 minutes between lunch and dinner. * Be observed and assessed for behavioral symptoms, cognition, and speech several times during treatment and at a 4-week follow-up.
