Here at Melodia Hospice, we’re proud to offer the most innovative form of hospice, palliative, and geriatric care in Greater San Francisco Bay Area in California and beyond. In addition to conventional care, our approach includes a proprietary treatment that revolves around music and melody.

We’re firm believers that humans intuitively respond to music, rhythm, and melody. And research supports the notion that music has the ability to impact mood, behaviors, focus, and so much more. In addition, music can force the brain to ignore symptoms of pain and discomfort, essentially serving as a mental therapy for both physical pain and anxiety.

Patients under hospice or palliative care are generally seeking that inner harmony and spiritual peace that allows them to come to terms with their conditions. Conventional care looks to target this harmony through mental therapies, spiritual guidance, and wholistic treatments. While we always look to these conventional care therapies for much of what we do, we’re also focused on the harmony.

At Melodia Hospice, we use music and melody to help ensure that our patients finally achieve that sense of harmony – we use harmonies to reach harmony.

Melodia Hospice offers innovative hospice care and we’re driven by creativity, new forms of therapy, and compassionate support to help ensure that your loved ones receive the very best care. Our staff embraces an increased emphasis on support, comfort, and symptom relief, as opposed to finding a cure.

Our main goal is to provide every last patient with the chance to live their life to the fullest, surrounded by loved ones, professional caregivers, and dedicated staff members who want nothing more than to guarantee their comfort and dignity.

Hospice care or sometimes called palliative care, is a specialized form of healthcare that is geared towards terminally ill and chronically ill patients. As opposed to focusing on curing these patients, hospice care addresses the unique emotional and spiritual needs of each patient wholeheartedly along with drug conventional therapy, so that they can remain comfortable and at peace while under care.

At Melodia Hospice, our trained staff are experts in the field of hospice care, with many of them carrying extensive backgrounds in healthcare, hospice, and geriatric care. We employ a full staff of trained psychologists and social workers who are committed to ensuring the comfort and peacefulness of each patient throughout their time under our care.

In addition to our more conventional care practices, much of our focus includes encouraging our patients to connect to their inner spirituality through music. Our approach involves assessing each individual patients’ responsiveness to music and melody, as well as questionnaires that allow us to determine their favorite genres, artists, songs, and albums, and even their preference for listening.

We work with each patient on a personal basis to ensure that they receive their music therapy during their preferred time. With an expansive collection of music that has been specifically selected and curated for its healing effects on multiple conditions, including pain, anxiety, and restlessness, we remain confident that we always have an option for each patient.
