We serve more
than 90 senior residential care homes and 11 adult day care
centers in the greater Phoenix area. Working with the administrators
of these facilities, Audrey’s Angels sends musicians,
crafters and artists to visit the seniors at a scheduled time,
providing a planned program of interaction.
During
visits, our “angels” give musical performances,
lead sing-a-longs, engage seniors in craft or art activities
and bring a twinkle to the eye of residents. As music and
art warm their hearts, residents often become more communicative,
expressing themselves with singing, conversation or a knowing
smile. For the many residents we visit who have dementia,
music and art can create a bridge across time and memory.
We
audition and train our musicians, each of whom loves sharing
his or her gifts in this unique program. Some of our angels
volunteer their time, while others accept a small stipend
to cover the cost of gasoline and the care of thier instruments,
music and song sheets..
