Also, you do realise that in 60 or 70 years time, pensioners will be going wild to 'Baby Shark' and 'Opam Gangnam Style!'

Udo Lindenberg.
Just out of interest, because my parents have just made me POA, is there a definite point where someone makes a decision? What if they start losing their faculties and insist on staying in their home when they can't manage?

Gawd.....I would rather have jim reeves (and his voice left me cold)I think now about if I ever get to an old folk's home, what would all the well meaning, do - gooders play at me?
Take That? Brittney? Justin Timberlake? 😆
... It's a terrifying thought, I agree

Earlier this year MIL came to the end of her life, far gone with dementia.
She was in a wonderful home that really knew how to keep her happy.
For her last week or so she would only rest if the Jim Reeves CD was constantly on auto replay. It was great for her but torture for us after the first 50 times
I went to see a bloke I know in his care home last week. He's aged 64 and not in good health due to a stroke about 10 years ago. I went the day it was the weekly afternoon sing along. I didn't know, otherwise I would've gone another day as talking over the music wasn't really possible. The music was the typical 'old fogie' stuff like Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye, Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag, etc etc. That was ok when I worked in a care home 30 odd years ago, as the residents mostly in their 70's/80's could relate to that music of their youth, but nowadays 70/80 year olds were youths in the 1950's and 60's. The bloke I went to see was like me into punk rock in the late 1970's. Why do care home managers think 60/70/80 year olds like music from years before they were born?🤔 My question is, If you lived in a care home what type of music would you like to hear from a weekly entertainer? It doesn't have to be liked by all, if any other residents by the way.
