Music Therapy for
Older Adults & Hospice
Music therapy supports connection, comfort, and quality of life for older adults across a range of settings — from community programs and nursing homes to end-of-life care. Our board-certified music therapists use music to promote wellbeing, foster engagement, and provide meaningful emotional support at every stage of life.
Music Therapy for Older Adults
Music therapy enhances wellbeing, connection, and quality of life for older adults in both group and individual settings.
Through familiar songs, instrument play, movement, and reminiscence, sessions are designed to meet each person where they are — supporting engagement, cognitive stimulation, and emotional expression.
Whether providing group sessions in nursing homes or tailored one-on-one visits, our therapists create an environment where music encourages joy, belonging, and self-expression.
Common goals for older adults may include:
Enhancing memory and recall through familiar music
Supporting social interaction and reducing isolation
Encouraging movement and physical engagement
Promoting relaxation and reducing agitation or anxiety
Providing creative outlets for self-expression
Music Therapy for Hospice & End-of-Life Care
Music therapy offers comfort, connection, and peace for individuals and families during hospice or palliative care.
Sessions may include gentle music listening, singing, relaxation, or legacy-based experiences such as songwriting, recording, or creating meaningful playlists.
Our therapists work alongside hospice teams to address emotional, spiritual, and physical needs through music. The familiar sound of a favorite song can ease pain, reduce anxiety, and bring comfort and closure to clients and their loved ones.
Music therapy in hospice can support:
Pain and symptom management
Anxiety and stress reduction
Emotional and spiritual expression
Legacy and memory-making experiences
Family connection and support
