FAQs

At Melodia Hospice, we proudly provide hospice and palliative care.

Hospice care is generally reserved for individuals who are suffering from a chronic illness or if their condition is terminal. Consult your healthcare provider to find out if hospice care is recommended.

Geriatric care is strictly reserved for elderly patients who are not terminally or chronically ill. We provide geriatric care for elderly patients who require increased attention to ensure that a proper quality of life is maintained in their later years.

Music therapy involves using music, melody, rhythm, and harmony to help take the mind off of things like physical pain, anxiety, worries, or stress. At Melodia Hospice, we use a combination of hospice care and music therapy to help bring our patients closer to the inner peace of mind that they deserve at this stage of their lives.

We believe 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.
