The Good Samaritan SocietyMusic Therapist
Jul. 2013 - Dec. 2013- Facilitated group/individual music therapy sessions for the residents at the facility. The care center has the following units/populations: Huntington's Disease, TBI, Post-Acute, men's Dementia, and men's behavioral units. - As a music therapy intern I also wrote 3 case studies, did assessments for incoming residents, assisted the TR department with resident outings and other events/groups, and worked closely with the OT, PT, ST and the chaplain. Good Samaritan Society Care Community is one of the four facilities in the United States that has a Huntington's Disease (HD) unit. I worked with residents with HD on a daily basis and gained knowledge about the disease and its conditions/symptoms in order to improve the residents' QoL, and promote their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
