Edenmore Nursing Home in Ilfracombe recently welcomed Year 3 students from Ilfracombe Junior School, who delighted residents with a vibrant musical performance. The residents, affectionately referred to as family members, enjoyed the students’ talents and performance.
Many family members at Edenmore are on their own individual Dementia journey; making the visit especially meaningful due to the song choices which evoked feelings of familiarity and comfort, whilst reminding some family members of cherished memories from their past.
“It was truly heartwarming to see the smiles on our family members’ faces as they listened to the music,” said Gayle Cooper, Registered Manager at Edenmore Nursing Home. “We are so grateful to the students and staff of Ilfracombe Junior School for taking the time to spread such joy and positivity to our team and family members.”
This special event not only strengthened Edenmore’s connection with the Ilfracombe community but also demonstrated the power of music to bring joy and spark memories, whilst forming new intergenerational friendships.
