Did you know that music therapy is used in hospice care? Here's recent feedback - shared with permission- from the family member of a recent hospice patient I worked with. Moments Music Therapy contracts with area hospice providers. If you have a loved one in hospice care, ask their care team if they offer music therapy! If not, please send them our way! "I can't express enough how grateful our family is to Karen and her music therapy. Our family member was very down and not talking much and nothing seemed to make him smile. Then Karen walked in and started playing some of his favorite types of music and songs and he lit up and even started moving his hands to the music. What a gift, a beautiful means to someone who is ill or just needs cheering up! Professional, gentle, and kind. I truly was amazed and so grateful!" -PM
