Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation is pleased to announce the funding of a new concert series for The Residence in Mission (TRIM), a long-term care facility dedicated to providing compassionate care to older adults. Recognising the profound impact of music on well-being, particularly for older adults, the Foundation is supporting a program designed to enhance the lives of TRIM residents through the power of live music.
Music therapy has been shown to offer a wide range of benefits, especially for older adults, including improved cognitive function, reduced stress, and enhanced emotional well-being. Dr. Jassal, donor relations, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation states, “live music, in particular, can stimulate the brain, evoke heartwarming memories, and provide a powerful outlet for self-expression. By diverting attention away from pain and discomfort, music can also help ease pain and lessen anxiety”.
“We are thrilled to partner with TRIM to bring the joy and therapeutic benefits of live music to the residents-in-care. This program will have a positive impact on overall well-being and health,” says Liz Harris, Executive Director, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.
Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation remains committed to supporting initiatives that improve the health and well-being of residents in the Fraser Valley. This concert series for TRIM exemplifies their dedication to funding innovative and impactful programs that make a difference in the lives of those in need.
