Music & Memory- Volunteer Specialist

Save to Favorites

From the website of the Music and Memory program: "Millions of Americans living in long-term care facilities face cognitive and physical difficulties and have left behind their familiar surroundings, familiar faces, and even their favorite music. Despite the best efforts of loved ones, their lives often lack meaning, spontaneity, choice, and reliable social interaction."

Banner Hospice is a certified Music and Memory program. We are looking for people who are passionate about helping others through music. You will go out to an assisted living or long-term care facility, or sometimes even a patient's home, and learn about the types of music they loved in their happiest years. A music therapist will create a playlist designed just for that patient, and you will visit and review their favorite songs with them.

This is a special opportunity and we are looking for a few specialist volunteers to spearhead it.

Please contact us for more information. Banner will provide all the training and orientation you need.
