While not everyone may necessarily enjoy the songs from the decades they grew up in, for the majority of care home residents, playing familiar songs can trigger memories and evoke positive emotions, such as recalling happy and nostalgic moments. Therefore, consider playing songs from relevant decades in your care home from time to time, which can be easily done on an Alexa device. You could even document residents' favourite artists or songs on their care plans. This ensures personalised care and enhances their overall well-being!
