A Scots care worker has shared an adorable video of her singing with a dementia patient.
Jenni Mack, 36, from Renfrew says 92-year-old Margaret Fleming normally doesn't speak or engage with staff or other residents.
But when Jenni starts singing Vera Lynn's 'We'll meet again', Margaret can be seen brightening up and even joins in.
The beautiful moment was captured by Jenni at Craigielea care home in Renfrew where she and the other activity coordinators work closely with charity Playlist for life.
The charity encourage care staff to create playlists for dementia patients, of tunes which are associated with their memories - a soundtrack for their life which can be used to unlock their minds.
Jenni was inspired to become a carer and get involved in this work three years ago, after being unable to deal with her own grandmother's dementia.
She said: "My own gran was in the care home and I used to visit her.
"Sadly I was one of those people who, once she didn't recognise me, felt there was no point in me going because she didn't know who I was.
"I've made it my mission to help other people because I couldn't do that for my gran. It was too personal and emotional for me."
Since becoming an activity coordinator and working with Playlist for Life, Jenni has realised she can bring elderly dementia sufferers out of their shells by tapping into songs they remember.
Before developing dementia, Margaret who features in the video, sang in her church choir and music was a big part of her life.
Singing Vera Lyn was the perfect way to engage with her and Jenni says after she stopped singing, the normally withdrawn resident continued to interact with her.
Jenni said: "Sometimes the connection can last after the singing has stopped.
"They will continue to talk.
"Margaret said 'that was lovely', 'I like that'
"She normally doesn't speak so it brings her out of her shell."
Craigielea care home is an accredited Playlist for Life home and some of the promo videos they show on their website are residents from Craigielea.
