Thousand Oaks, CA Home Instead CAREGivers will even help find the best service for playing each client’s favorite tunes.
The favored tunes may be from a decade of the client’s youth — the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. — or from a specific genre. Some people really love show tunes. Rogers and Hart, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, or even George and Ira Gershwin can really bring a smile to the face. Some go back even further and find that special comfort in music from the classical or romantic era.
Sometimes you just need some jazz — that uniquely American musical form. It stirs the soul, it can get the foot tapping, and it can help the mind forget its cares.
Then there’s the personal flare of music from south of the border or somewhere over the water: mariachi, salsa, Caribbean, marimba, and other sounds.
All of these have the power to soothe: a special something which really connects with the deeper person, helping them forget their troubles and be happy.
