Welcome...
Music
can be thought of as the soundtrack of our lives. Just hearing
that special song can bring back wonderful memories, transporting you back in time and filling
your heart with joy. Not only do you remember the words and tune, but you may also remember the
person you were and the people you knew at that moment in time that the song was popular. Sharing
this experience with new friends or acquaintenance in the present, can create a springboard for
new connections and relationships.
At
The Music Connection, we bring that music
back into the lives of the assisted living community in Northwest Atlanta by offering your residents
an opportunity to actually participate in making their favorite music with others. Participants
in these music-making sessions are provided a sing-along format and are offered the opportunity
to use musical instruments. And, participants can purchase a CD if they’d like to listen
to their favorite songs over and over again!
It’s been well proven that enjoying familiar
music can sometimes enhance the abilities of people who are elderly or disabled. Familiar
music can help to increase or maintain levels of physical, mental, and social/emotional functioning
through sensory and intellectual stimulation. The Music Connection's
entertaining music-making sessions can bring joy and happiness to the lives of
assisted-living residents, bringing about a tremendous therapeutic affect.
The National Center for Assisted Living advises prospective residents to explore
what types of entertainment, recreation, spiritual or therapeutic activities are available at
facilities under consideration. Therefore, when you choose The
Music Connection for your assisted-living community, you add a very attractive
service for current and prospective residents.
