Music Therapy at Birmingham Nursing Home

A representative of Rhythmic Medicine in Kansas City, Missouri, held a music therapy workshop at Birmingham's Fair Haven Retirement Center on Friday for nursing home staff who work with elderly patients, the Birmingham News reported. The focus of the workshop was on the therapeutic benefits of Native American flute music on elderly nursing home residents. Flute music can be soothing to nursing home patients, even those suffering from dementia. The workshop was held to train staff on how to play the flute to calm residents, thereby enriching the quality of residents' lives.

I applaud the Fair Haven Retirement Center for holding this workshop as a means of improving the quality of life of its elderly residents. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. When employees or administrators at a nursing care facility engage in abuse and neglect of elderly patients, they should be held accountable for their actions. An experienced Birmingham nursing home lawyer can help victims of abuse and neglect seek compensation for their injuries. At The Walker Law Firm, we can help protect the victim against retaliation by nursing home staff for revealing the abuse.
