Turtle Dove

Turtle Dove is a music in healthcare project. We work with hospital wards, care homes and other locations to deliver an interactive music and art programme that is focused on utilising creative activity for wellbeing to support people in short and long term healthcare settings. We specialise in Dementia care settings as well as Pediatric healthcare settings. For information about our work in mental healthcare settings please see our Safe and Sound project page

‘We have had a difficult few days with a very poorly baby. Hearing the beautiful music was a positive ray of sunshine. One of the first times our little boy has smiled. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts’

Care home resident

‘Thanks for the opportunity to have music on the ward. It truly brings joy to both patients and staff, and hearing it throughout the ward creates such a positive and uplifting atmosphere, its made a real difference to everyone here, and we deeply appreciate it.’

‘It is challenging to support our residents everyday with the meaningful activities they need and deserve. When Lifesize bring their music to our home it feels like some of that responsibility is being shared and we can learn from it too. Running music sessions is a very useful skill to here.’

Care home support staff

‘Music is such a powerful thing it lifts the spirits of everyone, the way you deliver the sessions getting all involved not because they have to but because they want to be is brilliant, I wish we could bottle the vibe you give in your sessions.. Thank you again from all the staff and residents.’
