Songs for the Memory started out as ‘Alzheimer’s Singing for the Brain Group’. However, In 2017 sadly the funding was cut forcing the group to close.
However, some members decided to take over and changed the name to Songs for the Memory and went on to win the 2023 Frome Times Group of the year award!
Catherine House and Frome Nursing Home, both part of the Evolve Care Group, strongly believe that relationships made in the community gives a sense of purpose and a sense of belonging. It is our connections and meaningful relationships with other people where we draw our strength.
