This article examines sociocultural, technological, staffing, and research-related barriers that hinder the integration of music-based practices into the work of Russian profession-als providing care for older adults — both in home-based settings and in medical and social residential facilities. The proposed classification of barriers is grounded in discussions within the Russian professional community and draws upon findings from international research.
