The mission of this organization is to provide free healing music experiences to residents of assisted living facilities, hospices, nursing homes and the like. Our program makes healing classical and other genres of music much more accessible to those in Assisted Living Facilities who otherwise might not be able to experience a live concert. Many residents are infirm and unable to get out to enjoy live music. Our program brings professional musicians to their facility for a live performance and the concert is also live streamed into the apartments.
Many empirical studies have demonstrated that music is beneficial to all age groups, but particularly efficacious to the elderly, who may suffer from loneliness, mental impairment and a wide variety of chronic and end-of-life situations.
A questionnaire replied by a substantial number of residents indicated 98% of them rated our service “Excellent” and the same number hoped we would continue our monthly appearances and said it would be “Very Likely” they would attend future concerts.
Each of our concerts has been “sold out” and the reaction of the residents has been heartwarming, as they express their appreciation with big smiles and obvious improvement in their outlooks.
