Hi there, can anyone recommend what music is best to play during meal times. I have used a few including Richard Clayderman piano and Pan pipes but needing inspiration and ideas. Thanks folks. ~ Del

Hi Whenua, if you are able to find out what type of music your residents have enjoyed in the past. Background music that our residents find helpful is classical, but we are incorporating music that our residents have in their rooms and that family have brought in. This has assisted us - of course we ensure that CD's are labelled appropriately.
Our residents prefer not to have music played at meal times. We have a number of DVD's of photos collections or an aquarium that we can play without sound, this gives people something to look at. Sport, cricket, tennis etc. is often a request and we allow this without sound. Conversation in the dining room is encouraged. Management prefer music, but our current residents do not.
My residents thoroughly enjoy all the games I have been collecting from your page for them. Thank you! I am very grateful as I find it a great help to be able to log in and find all these wonderful games for them. Thank you so very much.
