Is your facility struggling to offer unique, therapeutic experiences for your residents?

Are budget constraints forcing you to reconsider essential services?

Or perhaps you’re a parent of a neurodivergent child, searching for a calming and meaningful way to connect as a family?

If any of this resonates with you, you’ve found the solution. At UpBeat Music Therapy, we believe in healing beyond words. We frequently hear from care teams that patients who are difficult to engage with traditional methods find solace and connection through music therapy. For families facing the heartbreak of dementia, music becomes a bridge, allowing loved ones to communicate through songs stored deep in their memories.

That’s the transformative power of music.

Combined with our professional therapeutic techniques, we bring peace and connection to your loved ones, complementing their medical care. But don’t just take our word for it—hear from those we’ve had the privilege to serve:

“Our residents light up during Music Therapy. We witness all the benefits from stress relief and brain stimulation to exercise and social interaction. Music Therapy enhances residents’ lives, and we wouldn’t operate without it.”
— Jamie, Owner, Adult Family Home, Vancouver, WA

“After one hour of live, interactive music, our elderly residents are happier, calmer, and more social. They cannot wait until Tuesday when our music therapist comes. Even if they are not in a good mood, they do not want to skip music therapy!”
— Ben, Owner, Adult Family Home, Portland OR

“One of the most enjoyable experiences I have is when the music person comes. It is so relaxing, and it makes me remember yesterdays, fun days.”

— Susan, Hospice Patient
