Laughter Care on Nine News

Our very own Monty speaks with Mike Dalton from Nine News about the impact of Laughter Care on aged care residents.

What is Laughter Care?

The Laughter Care program is a world-leading initiative that merges medicine and the arts to enhance the
lives of aged care residents.

Laughter Care Specialists, chosen for their empathy and performance skills, receive specialised training to connect with people living with dementia and those experiencing social isolation.

With nearly half a million Australians facing dementia, this program validates who the person is now, not who they used to be, transforming aged care by prioritising emotional and social well-being alongside physical health.
