In a perfect world there would be a full time music therapist on every floor of every hospital and available for every Hospice patient and family member who needs it. Since this does not exist, we created Sounds of Comfort (501c3) non-profit organization to help bring music therapy where it is needed most.

Research clearly shows that music is effective in decreasing agitation and other negative symptoms in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Music often acts as a bridge to help access lost memories and yet there is not enough music in most care centers. Sounds of Comfort is dedicated to bringing quality music to people in need:

• In hospitals
• In nursing homes
• In Hospice facilities
• In private homes

Sounds of Comfort is funded by private donations, by fundraising concerts and events organized by Rhythmic Medicine. Your private donation is used to pay music therapists and Sounds of Comfort certified musicians to provide live music for Hospice, hospital and nursing home patients. We acknowledge your contribution with a letter of appreciation, confirming your tax-deductible donation and will let you know of any upcoming events or concerts. With a donation of $150 or more, we will send you a Words of Comfort blanket of your choice as a thank you gift.

Please email music@rhythmicmedicine.com to learn more about making a donation.

“When you walked through the door of my hospital room, I could not believe you were going to play beautiful music just for me! What a blessing and an honor! I have never heard music played with such passion — the violin and piano lifted my spirits and filled my heart with joy. Thank you for making such a positive difference in my hospital stay.”
—Hospital Patient
