Where Words Fail, Music Speaks


We are very excited about our programs this month that revolve around the many facets of music.  This year we will be introducing the Music and Memory Program into our Wellspring community here at Williamstown.  We have three events scheduled in the upcoming months and invite you to join us!

January 22nd at 2:00 PM: ALIVE INSIDE SCREENING An inspirational and emotional story left the audience humming, clapping and cheering at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award. The film dramatically portrays the power of music and memory. Refreshments will be served following the screening along with discussion on how music impacts each of us daily, especially those who live with dementia. See the trailer.
  
February 5th at 4:00 PM: MUSIC THE MAGIC HEALER Join us to hear Deborah Scott, Dynamic Dementia Professional, Certified Geriatric Case Manager, discuss how music can help those with dementia. She will show how different types of music can soothe, stimulate or spark a memory. She will share her insights for using Music and Memory to achieve this goal.

February 19th at 2:00 PM: MUSIC AND MEMORY OPEN HOUSE Celebrate the power of music with the family and staff of Wellspring Memory Care at Juniper Village Williamstown!  During this session we will be creating our own playlists, reminiscing our favorite moments in musical history, while enjoying some hors d’oeuvres.  Feel free to drop off a used iPod or an ITunes gift card to get the Music and Memory Program up and moving for our residents! 


If you are unable to make any of our upcoming events, or have questions about Music and Memory, please contact our Connections Director at 856-740-4444.
