Dementia Care
This video created by NYC Health + Hospitals Corporation is about the healing power of the music therapy program at Coler Hospital.
The Fund for NYC Health + Hospitals' Music & Memory programs help to improve quality of life for patients and long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other cognitive loss, reestablishing connection through music.
Some of Angelica’s favorite programs in the dementia units are art and music therapy. Our cooking program involves encourages patients to take part in cooking demonstrations and lessons, followed by enjoying the food that has been prepared. We also supply the dementia units with sensory supplies and equipment for sensory stimulation. Angelica has purchased flat screen TVs for many of the units and a large fish tank for the common area of one of the dementia units that relaxes the patients.
