Reincorporate soft music at meal times.

We had music playing and most people enjoyed it, but two residents complained that it was too loud and it was just stopped completely. No fair vote was taken to stop the music or keep it.

It can be very stressful for many to sit and eat in silence. Most people do not talk to each other for lack of any common interests or have trouble talking or hearing.

For many the stress can be alleviated with soft "dinner" style music playing. Music is very calming to most individuals.

If the problem was due to sound speakers being too close causing louder sound to those near, that can easily be fixed by changing the position of sound system, or moving those who like the music nearer and those who don't further away until a more balance system can be divised.
