About Room 217
In Canada and other parts of the world, there is an increasing interest in the relationship between music, health, well-being and how it can be used in care contexts. This may be because music is an intricate part of life passage and has tremendous healing capacity. One life passage where the depth and breadth of music is profound is at end of life.
The Room 217 Foundation is a health arts organization that uses music to change the culture of care for vulnerable populations by bringing a unique, cost-effective approach to care through research-informed music resources, education, training and research. Room 217 believes that the application of music can achieve positive healthcare outcomes. Room 217 programs and resources meets current health priorities of person-centred care and non-pharmacological interventions and is accessible for anyone to use and learn to integrate.
The Room 217 Foundation currently serves care partners in a number of populations: palliative and end of life care, long-term care, dementia care, and persons aging in place. End user carers who engage in Room 217 offerings include recreational therapists and other activity professionals, personal support workers, nurses, social workers, chaplains, bereavement counsellors, life care specialists, volunteer and family caregivers. Future populations may include people with autism, Parkinson’s disease or cancer care, where the therapeutic value of music has been proven.
