Music Activities for Engagement and Wellbeing in Aged Care
Music activities that support engagement, reminiscence and wellbeing in aged care, making it easy for lifestyle and activities staff to run meaningful sessions.
For many years, Aged Care Music Resources has worked alongside Diversional Therapists, Leisure and Lifestyle staff, Recreation and Activities staff, Managers, and Music Therapists to create age-appropriate music resources that truly support the work they do.
Our age-appropriate music resources are designed to bring enjoyment, engagement, and reminiscence to older people, while making it easy for staff to run meaningful music sessions. Many younger staff may be unfamiliar with the music and styles residents grew up with — our resources bridge that gap, providing songs and guidance that make group sessions both accessible and joyful.
Our resources also provide a practical way to support personalised care and wellbeing, aligning naturally with the intent of the new Aged Care Standards.
Music uplifts, heals, and connects.
Whether you’re a lifestyle coordinator, music therapist, or family caregiver, our music solutions bring comfort, familiarity, and fun to our elderly every day.
