Music Therapy offers comfort and meaningful experiences during end-of-life care, aligning with the philosophy of palliative care by focusing on person-centered well-being. Music can evoke memories and emotions, reduce pain and anxiety, and support a person’s unique dying experience. Sessions often include family and friends, helping everyone process difficult emotions together.
We collaborate with healthcare professionals, caregivers, and support staff to provide compassionate and individualized therapeutic support. Our approach integrates seamlessly into the care team, ensuring that each patient’s therapeutic goals are met.
Music therapy is a multi-sensory experience and our music therapists will use a variety of ways to meet your needs, interests and goals.
