We are looking for volunteers to assist with the music and memory program for our Residents with dementia. There are many stages to this program. We will be looking for volunteers to assist with interviewing Residents and their families to find the music that is most meaningful to them, volunteers to assist with collecting used I-PODS, volunteers to assist with downloading music to the IPODS, and volunteers to identify what times during the day work best for each resident to have the music. Music is such a powerful tool for people with dementia and it can change ones behavior to have more powerful experiences. Please contact us if you are interested in assisting with this program.

Mission Statement
Presbyterian SeniorCare is a Christ-centered network of communities and services committed to excellence in enhancing the quality of life of older adults.
Description
In 1991, Presbyterian SeniorCare developed Woodside Place, one of the first residential personal care communities of its kind in the United States designed specifically to meet the physical, social and psychological needs of persons living with Alzheimer’s disease. Here, Memory Care residents experience considerable freedom of choice in a secure environment while engaging in everyday activities that create a sense of purpose and nurture social connections.
From its inception, Woodside Place challenged the traditional nursing home model of care with a new social model, a flexible care program and architectural innovation. Two decades later, the Woodside Program model remains cutting-edge and relevant in serving the increasing needs of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia conditions In addition to full-time residential living, we also offer full or half-day Adult Day programs at Woodside Place.
