70-year-old St. George nursing home

If you’re not sure what music they enjoy, ask relatives or bring a selection of songs that came out when they were young and ask which they like most. Music is also an ideal activity when your older adult isn’t well or has reached a stage of their illness where they can only lie in bed. Soft music is calming, comforting, and something you can still do together. If you’re not sure they’re enjoying the music, watch their body language for clues. If they seem agitated, switch to something more soothing, lower the sound, or switch to a different activity.
