Mike Memphis, a well-liked Elvis tribute artist, recently paid a very exciting visit to Cramlington House, delighting residents with his lively performance. Known for his uncanny resemblance to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Mike Memphis has become a favourite among the residents, offering not just entertainment but also a significant boost to their wellbeing.
Live entertainment like Mike’s performance plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for elderly residents. It stimulates their minds, evokes happy memories and encourages social interaction. Our residents loved his most recent performance and were visibly uplifted as they sang along and clapped to familiar tunes.
Our wellbeing Champion Kim Stubbs said: “Mike’s performances always bring a special energy to our home. It’s wonderful to see our residents so engaged and joyful. Live entertainment is more than just a treat – it’s essential for their emotional and mental health.”
As well as the emotional benefits, live entertainment also help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation among residents, a sense of community.
