Performances by visiting musicians take place in the Great Room twice a week. The performance schedule is posted on the wall beside the dining room table and inside your loved one’s bedroom, so family members will be able to plan to share this experience with their loved ones.

and comfort support, if requested, our volunteers may provide up to 24 hours of vigil support.
