Songs to Sing with Memory Care

Hi friends! I recently started a new job working in a retirement home running the activities in assisted living and memory care. I had a great day today playing some youtube videos of songs from golden era musicals for the memory care residents. They really perked up and lots of them were able to sing along. I would love to make a long playlist on our youtube account with songs that will hopefully be recognized by the residents. Please share with me your most beloved and remembered songs from musicals or movies from the golden era!

So far they have really enjoyed

Shall We Dance - King & I

Getting To Know You - King & I

The Trolley Song - Meet Me in St Louis

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Wizard of Oz

There Is Nothin Like A Dame - South Pacific

Good Mornin - Singing In The Rain

Oh What A Beautiful Mornin - Oklahoma
