On Tuesday, October 3rd Upstate Music Therapy Center employees joined the Webster Comfort Care Home community in honoring their residents. Webster Comfort Care Home is a non-profit community-based care home committed to providing compassionate care to the terminally ill and their families. Each year, they hold a memorial service for their residents who have passed.
Each resident was represented with a tea light around the home’s beautiful gardens. In 2023, there were over 200 residents and families supported by the home.
While families enjoyed refreshments and snacks, UMTC and other valued members of the music community played background music for everyone to enjoy. Erin Triola and Lydia O’Sullivan created a guitar and violin duo, sharing soothing sounds with songs like “Let It Be” and “Rainbow Connection.” Abby Hamel, Casey Kunzer, and Katie Pistilli dusted off their clarinets to create a trio playing favorites “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Amazing Grace.”
Webster Comfort Care Home values their community and each member’s valuable role in it. They have certainly cultivated a welcoming, warm place for their residents and families. Upstate Music Therapy Center was grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their memorial service and share their music at this beautiful event.
