Older adults can benefit from the addition of music and dance-based programs to their care. Music and dance-based interventions are a diverse approach to address the unique needs of older people. However, aged care centre and older people are less willing to put in money for such programs. This paper examines the financial issues that surround the provision of music and dance-based interventions for older adults. Systematic search of literature retrieval on Scopus Elsevier, data extraction, and study selection were carried out. After conducting a systematic search on Scopus Elsevier, this paper retrieved 512 publications. Then, after a meticulous screening process and only five publications were suitable for analysis. Thematic analysis categorized into music and dance-based interventions for discussion. Developing and sustaining music and dance-based care programs for older people requires financial resources, such as investment and funding coverage. Dance-based interventions offer potential benefits for older adults; such as improving participation and motivation for rehabilitation in older adults, while music-based intervention helps ease cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia patients.
