Increase the Quality of Life for Our Seniors
MUSIC GROUPS
Group Music Therapy at Senior Living Centers
Vida Music Therapy contracts with senior living facilities to lead music therapy groups in both assisted living and memory care settings. Within these groups, seniors are given opportunities to engage in live music-making experiences along to age-appropriate music. For seniors, music is an important tool that can be used to help maintain cognitive and motor skills. Groups also focus on using music and movement to encourage seniors to remain active an engaged. Most of all, group music therapy sessions with seniors help to promote positive peer interactions amongst the residents as they engage in music experiences involving rhythm, singing, and synchronized movement.
MUSIC THERAPY & HOSPICE
End of Life Care & Music
When a loved one is near the end of life, it is an extremely challenging time for the entire family. Vida Music Therapy contracts with hospice companies, offering music therapy services to bring hope and healing into these difficult moments. Music therapy sessions in this setting focus on using music to soothe pain, promote relaxation, bring about comfort and to increase opportunities for meaningful connections between patients and caregivers. Another powerful way that music can be used with this population is in the creation of musical legacy projects that will live on when the patients are gone.
