Music Therapy
Music Therapy
Devoted Healthcare goes above and beyond in caring for the whole person. Providing music therapy to patients and their families is just one way that Devoted demonstrates a sincere desire to care for all the needs of our patients and families – not just physical needs but emotional, mental, spiritual, and psychological needs as well.
Our board-certified music therapist supports the patient’s unique plan of care by collaborating with the doctor, nurses, home health aides, chaplains, and social workers to address and further support patient goals and objectives. Music is unique in its ability to allow for communication with patients who are nonverbal, provide memory recall and life review, help manage pain, and develop coping skills for loss of independence, anxiety, depression, and all of the challenges of the hospice journey.
