Yesterday, several of our residents enjoyed front-row seats to the West Chester Friends School student performance of the musical Stone Soup. Under the direction of Teacher Samantha and Teacher Amy, the students delivered another creative and “souper” performance.

We love moments like these that naturally bring generations together and strengthen our community connections. We are so grateful that the students visit our residents frequently at The Hickman. It was especially fun for our residents to see the students perform in their own space. West Chester Friends School

The role of music in memory care is better established than you may realize. Think about how a song can take you back to an experience that you may have otherwise forgotten, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of why music plays such a primary role in memory care. At The Hickman, a well-respected West Chester, PA, Friends senior community – we recognize how closely memory and music are intertwined, and we never miss an opportunity to foster musical experiences in the lives of our residents.
