The problem of aging and its impact on society has been a concern with the public. In line with the expectations of the people and the needs of care, government policies must address the distribution of medical long-term care resources and cooperate with the entire industry in order to promote the rights and interests of the elderly. Aging is a mandatory process. Maintaining dignity and elegance is an important goal for us as professionals. Capturing images of facial emotional features through face recognition, the images of the data set are processed by machine learning. When long term care residents hear Japanese, Mandarin, Taiwanese nostalgic music and white noise compared to the pretest, we can capture differences that appear on the face. The emotions are analyzed in order to provide a reference for future research. In this study, a total of 63,000 data were collected in 15 cases, showing changes among seven emotions in 120 seconds by the pretest without music and with intervention of nostalgic music and white noise. By the paired sample t-test, the Happy emotion increased significantly when listening to the old Chinese song. Upon hearing the old Chinese song or white noise, the Surprised emotion is significantly reduced. Compare to the Wilcoxon signed rank test, it was found that the emotional performance after listening was consistent with the paired sample t-test. When all the residents listen to the music and white noise, there are significant differences by the chi-square test in the measure of the emotional ratio per person per second. The Disgusted emotion decreased after all the musical intervention. In listening to Japanese and Chinese nostalgic music, the Happy emotion was increased. While listening to Taiwanese nostalgic music, Happy and Fearful emotions increased, whereas listening to white noise saw a significant rise in the Sad emotion. We individually observed the mode of emotions and the changes during listening to nostalgic music by the McNemar test. Listening to Japanese and Chinese nostalgic music, 9 residents (60%) had emotional changes and 6 residents (40%) had unchanged emotions. After listening to the Taiwanese nostalgic music, 11 residents (73%) had emotional changes, whereas 4 subjects (27%) had unchanged emotions. 11 residents (73%) had emotional changes when listening to white noise, and four residents (27%) remained unchanged. The result is statistically non-significant because of the sample size. We can use nostalgic music intervention for the residents in the long-term care facility to create a better care environment. In the appropriate situation, the principle of individualization can be used to achieve the purpose of relieving the mood of the residents.
