Click here to download all 20 classic Christmas hymns, all arranged as sing-alongs for older adults with Alzheimer’s and other dementias (slower, shorter, and in a lower key).
Note: This a fairly large zip file, about 92MB, so it might take a minute to download.
Also download this ready-to-use Christmas hymnal, also created for elders with dementia. The song order in this hymnal corresponds to my ready-to-use Advent worship services.
My sincere thanks to my super-talented vocalists, Ben Lunstad and Charlotte Sass, and my amazing pianist, Richard Capp, for lending their beautiful gifts to this special recording!

Thank you so much for this and all of the resources. I have worked as a chaplain previously but not in memory care units or even with the diversity of Long-term Care Residents, and I’ve been struggling a bit with appropriate groups and worship now that I am serving those populations for the first time as of a coupe of months ago. I very much appreciate these resources. Thank you.

I co-lead a weekly bible study in the memory care unit at Harmony in Charleston SC. Your resource information and sing-along hymns have been a real joy and has lifted up the staff and residents! Thank you and God Bless!

I’ve just uploaded video versions of the Christmas hymns; see links in the list of individual song titles above.
Also, ICYMI, I created an Advent Devotions and Activities booklet which your residents might enjoy; get the link here: https://spiritualeldercare.com/2021/11/26/my-gift-to-you-advent-devotions-and-activities/
