Music & Memory Program Helps Seniors

Toes are tapping and memories are putting smiles on the faces of residents at Maplewood Senior

Living. For the past six months, residents at Maplewood Senior Living’s Ohio communities have

enjoyed participating in the Music & Memory program thanks to partnership with Ohio

Department of Aging and the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging.

This innovative approach to care was developed by New York social worker Dan Cohen and uses

personalized playlists to help people with dementia and memory impairments reconnect with the

world around them.

Music & Memory is a great addition to Maplewood’s unique emotion-based philosophy of

care, referred to as the HEART approach — an acronym for Humor, Empathy, Autonomy, Respect

and Reaching out to others, and Trust and Triumph — which removes the stress of what residents

can’t remember or do, and helps them discover the joy of living in the moment.

“Music has proven to evoke such positive responses for residents,” says Lauren Skillicorn,

memory care coordinator at Maplewood at Chardon. “It puts smiles on faces, gets bodies

moving and lifts spirits.”

Maplewood holds a special regard for residents with memory impairment and has purposefully

designed its communities and programs to help residents feel safe, cared for and comfortable.

Maplewood Senior Living operates Maplewood at Chardon, Maplewood at Cuyahoga Falls and

Maplewood at Twinsburg. For more information, visit maplewoodseniorliving.com.
