Music therapy treatment is efficacious and valid with persons who have functional deficits in physical, psychological, cognitive and social functioning.\u00a0 Individuals in a long-term care setting may experience feelings of isolation, confusion, loneliness and depression as well as decreased physical functioning.\u00a0 It can address the individual needs of residents in a success-oriented, non-threatening atmosphere which fosters increased interaction among fellow residents.\u00a0 In addition, music therapy can provide opportunities for increased self-expression and creativity and boosted self-esteem. Music is a form of sensory stimulation which provokes responses due to familiarity, predictability, and feelings of security associated with it.<\/p>\n

Music therapy at SMP Health – St. Raphael is implemented and overseen by board certified and licensed music therapist Angela Hansen.\u00a0 Music therapy and related music groups include, but are not limited to, Sing along, improvisational instrument play, movement to music, music games, active listening, instrumental groups such as Kitchen Band or Drum Circle, songwriting, music relaxation, Chime Choir, and 1-1 music therapy.\u00a0 Participation in these programs or 1-1 music therapy allows residents to experience success, relaxation, and enjoyment while meeting care plan or treatment goals.<\/p>\n

The Musical Neighborhood Planner assists Angi in providing musical group and 1-1 visits in the Sycamore Special Care Unit and Circle of Life Cottage, as well as implement and maintains the Music and Memory program which specializes in providing personalized playlists for residents who wish to have them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I told you, Angi, I will always appreciate the music you did for Mom at SCC.\u00a0 I hope you know that your music therapy was why I kept her there.\u00a0 It was my dad\u2019s wish that I move Mom closer to me in Georgia, but I could not find a nursing facility here that promoted a strong music program for the elderly\u2026Shelley Williamson.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for all the time spent with my Mom in the Chime Choir.\u00a0 How she loved it!\u00a0 Now she is chiming in Heaven!\u00a0 From Jo\u2019s daughters, Linda and Judy.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-12″ el_id=”secondary”][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”page-sidebar-2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”29537″ parallax_speed_bg=”2.5″ css=”.vc_custom_1541003842475{margin-bottom: -10px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 125px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”top-to-bottom”]<\/p>\n
