With age comes wisdom, but many of us also start to slow down. As our loved ones grow older, they may find it challenging to live independently, making a senior care facility the best option.
It’s essential to show our senior citizens love and compassion, as we owe our existence to them. When our loved ones reside in a senior care facility, we hope the staff will be kind, engaging, and help them enjoy every moment. Special individuals like George Papakyriacou from Musical Playground for Kids contribute significantly to this goal.
Temple Croft Care Home, a senior care facility in the United Kingdom, recently shared a heartwarming video on its TikTok page featuring George and a resident singing and dancing. The caption read, “We love when George comes to sing to us, what a lovely afternoon we have had.”
George played his guitar and danced, entertaining a lively room filled with seniors who clearly enjoyed his music. While nursing home scenes can sometimes appear sad or daunting, this video is quite uplifting.
One person commented, “This has made my heart so happy. I’m crying happy tears. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.”
Another expressed admiration for George’s talent, writing, “I wish I could play guitar and sing for this reason. Look how happy he has made them. That’s worth more than any amount of money in your pocket… fair play to him the heaven gates are well open for him.”
Someone else noted, “This is how it should be….in my nan’s care home they played Radio 1 for the staff. None of the residents knew any of the songs.”
Temple Care responded, “Everything we do [is] all about our residents it’s their home. We just work in it making them happy is what we love to do.”
Thank you, George, for bringing smiles to our faces today. We hope to see you singing and dancing again soon.
