Extra Services and Programs
Not all hospices offer complementary
music and massage therapy, but we do.
We provide these services because they are proven to
reduce pain and provide relief of symptoms.
It makes our patients more comfortable and
provides a better quality of life.

​Music is magical. It has a way of making us feel better. Those favorite songs will bring a smile to our faces as we sing along or tap our toes. For hospice patients, music therapy is pure gold, especially if the patient is like 93-year-old Carole Ford of Mays Landing. A former church organist, making music brightens her mood. "She has a musical ear," said Karen Melita, music therapist for NJHealth Hospice, to that Carole responds with a huge smile and a hit to a high note on her xylophone. (listen to her music on the link below). She says her favorite thing about music therapy is making "it happen."
