Ukulele Songs for Care Homes
Why Play Ukulele in a Care Home?
It has long been known that older adults who regularly listen to music and sing along with it live a happier life. They tend to have a more positive outlook and better social interaction. From the smiles on the faces of our friends, we can quickly tell that our songs improve mood, enhance interest and create positive emotions. Songs from the past can often trigger memories in people with Alzheimer’s or dementia and they may start chatting about a loved one or a special memory. Even people who have lost the power of speech will hum along with us.
If you get the chance, it really is a wonderful thing to do!
Here are some tried and tested ukulele songs from our popular care home set list, but we are always open to more suggestions.
Happy strumming 🙂

Bring Me Sunshine by Morcambe and Wise
