This GeriPal podcast speaks with Jenny Chen, Tyler Jorgensen, and Theresa Allison about their work with music therapy for patients in hospice and palliative care. Theresa is a geriatrician and ethnomusicologist who studies the role of music for people with dementia. The ability to appreciate, recognize, and engage with music is preserved even until late stages of dementia, and she is examining how music can be useful from the time of diagnosis, not only for the person with dementia, but their caregivers.
