Music Therapy for Elders
Music Moves People
At 2 and and 82, music is a glue that holds us together and connects us to others. Older adults are able to use music as a way to reach out to others, to express themselves and to be heard. Music motivates folks to move and to be active. Music Therapy sessions encourage elders to enjoy life and the people around them, bringing joy, comfort, and purpsose to their day.
Alzheimer’s and dementia patients are especially good candidates for music therapy services. Not only does music encourage movement and socialization, but it can also help with memory recall, nonverbal communication, and quality of life.
Seniors can benefit from both group and individual music therapy sessions, held at their nursing home or assisted living facility. Our music therapists are happy to come to you to in order to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
If you know someone who would benefit from group or individual music therapy sessions, please call us at 781-665-0700 so that we can talk with you about creating an individualized music therapy program. RMTS is looking to expand our services into nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the greater Boston area, so if you are involved with elder care and are interested in learning more about how music therapy could be incorporated into your center, we would love to connect with you as well.
