Our residents, most of whom have dementia, love to sing. Many of residents who don't sing still come in to the lounge and sit down to enjoy the music.
Thank you so very much for your feedback ladies!
Love this idea - thank you, I will definitely be using this on Sheltered housing : - )
I have just started one at our home , I must say it is a real bonding experience. We practice once a week and have another resident on keyboard …. We’re not X factor but we certainly enjoy it x
We started our choir last year. Initially it was for Christmas carols at our Residents Christmas Parties. Families were invited and it was a success. The residents thoroughly enjoyed it, that we have continued it and looking forward to Australia Day as we have started singing Aussie songs and performing at our Aussie Bbq.
We are so happy we started this as it was a small group and now more and more residents have joined.
