It was an exciting event for our residents. With a large circle of chairs and residents hand in hand, Drum Circle with Rick came to explore our residents' inner abilities and talents. They came with an assortment of musical instruments. Each resident participated with great enthusiasm and creativity. After choosing which instrument they wanted, the residents got to follow what I could only describe as a Native American-style chant filled with different tones and melodies. The tone would go from high to low and the manipulation of the different sounds was quite therapeutic. The care staff, med techs, and connections staff all got involved. The whole cottage was filled with a nostalgic melody.
