Music Therapy
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain,” -Bob Marley
A video of Henry, an Alzheimer’s patient listening to music, recently caught the attention of many Internet users. The fascination with the video stems from Henry’s quick transition from a confused, mumbling patient to a cooperative, imaginative person who speaks in clear sentences after listening to lively music. This kind of reaction is nothing new, but is gaining more credibility in healthcare settings.
Music therapy has been a powerful tool in patient care that has existed for centuries. The introduction of music in a variety of rehabilitation and palliative care settings is steadily increasing. Research has shown that music is the first sensation that registers with a developing fetus and the last sensation to register with a patient at end-of-life.
The American Music Therapy Association defines music therapy as “…an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals of all ages.”
Gain a more in depth understanding of the myriad of ways in which music therapy is applied in today’s healthcare settings.
Leaving a Legacy Program
Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care will be introducing us to the “Seasons Remembered: Leaving a Legacy Program”. This innovative program involves Seasons team members helping patients capture their “Legacy,” leaving their message and memory for ongoing generations to share. Some Legacy projects are larger than others, but all undoubtedly leave their mark on all involved in the work. Projects have ranged from helping patients record their favorite memories and stories via hand- written messages or recordings, capturing someone singing a favorite song with one of our music therapists or creating bound cookbooks from the multitude of recipes belonging to the family matriarch.
This event is from 5:30-7:30pm
Catering is by our Chef
