Seniors & care homes

Rhythm for residents and staff

Drum circles for seniors and care homes, for residents and staff. We serve diverse populations — from the newly born to the dying — with developmentally appropriate, exciting, uplifting and interactive events.

Everyone can play seated, including from a wheelchair.
We adapt for hearing aids, mobility and sensory needs.
The volume is facilitated the whole way through, so we can keep it soft for care homes or anyone sensitive to sound.
Inter-generational work.
No drumming experience needed.

What the research suggests

Older adults. Research suggests making music together, percussion included, supports mood, confidence and a sense of belonging in later life. Hallam & Creech, 2016
Care staff. Research suggests a short group drumming program reduced burnout and improved mood in long-term care staff. Bittman et al., 2003

These are mostly small studies of group music-making, not studies of our sessions. Our circles are for wellness, connection and fun. They aren’t therapy or counselling, and they don’t replace professional mental health care.
