“And here is the best part, you have a head start, if you are among the very young at heart.”

Music & Song

“We set up Young@Heart Café with a very gentle framework. We knew that music and song were important for people with memory loss. Lots of research backs this up.”

— Maria Collins, Founder

Music and song is the special sauce that binds the Young@Heart Café together.

We work with a variety of musicians offering a range of different musical and entertainment experiences.

We have also created our own easy-to-read songbooks and Spotify playlist so that everyone can take Young@Heart home with them.

We’ve enhanced the entertainment at Young@Heart by putting on a variety of local artists who play in residence at the café.
