Music Resources

A modern take on old hymns...with guitar chords!
https://www.reawakenhymns.com

Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns has created a resource of old/well-known hymns and put them to elegantly simple guitar chords.  This makes it easy to select well-known, much loved and easily remembered hymns without the complicated chords that often comes with these hymns.
You can purchase the entire catalogue in e-copy or hard-copy, or download the handful of hymns you may need as you go.
Great for aged care church services, small church congregations or acoustic style worship services.

Liturgical Resources

Liturgies specifically for people with dementia.
http://www.calvin.edu/cicw/resources/pdf/Dementia-HandbookforWorship.pdf
Evening Star is a series of 16 liturgies designed specifically for people living with dementia in an aged care setting.  The liturgies are developed from start to finish, so you can use them 'off the shelf' or make adjustments as needed depending on your setting.  It focuses on how God keeps His promises to us all the time and that we are loved - no matter what.
