Exploring the Power of Music at Treeo South Ogden

Dec 19, Alissa Sauer

Music is a universal language that transcends generations and resonates with all of us. For older adults, the benefits of music go far beyond mere enjoyment—it’s a powerful tool that can uplift, comfort, and even promote physical and mental health. At Treeo, an independent living community in  South Ogden, UT, we embrace the power of music to enhance the lives of our residents, bringing joy, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose every day.

Celebrating Music at Treeo

Music is woven into the fabric of life at Treeo South Ogden. We offer daily music in the lobby and bistro, creating an uplifting atmosphere that helps residents start and end their days with a smile. Weekly jazz with cocktails offers the perfect backdrop for unwinding, connecting with friends, and enjoying the beauty of live music in a relaxed setting. Additionally, we host monthly live music events that bring residents together, turning ordinary days into cherished memories. These events are entertaining and support cognitive health, reduce stress, and promote social connection, making music an essential part of our residents’ well-being.

“I love country, oldies, piano, and harp! Music brightens my day and makes me happy. I especially love the music entertainers that we have every week at Happy Hour.” -Ann P., resident

The Benefits of Music for Older Adults

Music offers powerful benefits for seniors, from boosting mood and memory to enhancing social connections and overall well-being. Below, we will take a closer look at some of these benefits.

Memory and Connection

Memories create shared experiences that strengthen relationships and enhance our understanding of one another. Recalling moments together deepens our emotional bonds and enriches our interactions. Music uniquely unlocks memories; for our residents, familiar tunes can bring back cherished moments and stories from their past. This connection between music and memory is especially meaningful for those with cognitive impairments, as it allows them to recall long-lost memories and feel more connected to their experiences and loved ones.

Reducing Stress and Anxiety

Listening to music has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, the body’s stress hormone, creating a calming effect that fosters relaxation and emotional balance. Our music-filled lobby and social events are designed to help our residents melt stress away and find peace and joy each day.

Fostering Social Bonds

Music is a natural way for people to connect, and our musical events are often the highlight of our residents’ social calendars. Whether it’s a live jazz night or a community concert, these shared experiences bring our residents closer together, fostering friendships and a true sense of community.

Physical Benefits and Self-Expression

At Treeo, we understand that music encourages movement, whether tapping along to the beat or dancing with friends. This light physical activity promotes balance and coordination, which are essential for healthy aging. Music also provides a wonderful outlet for self-expression, allowing residents to explore their creative side, whether singing along or just enjoying the rhythm.

Embracing Each Day with Music at Treeo

We believe in making each day a little brighter. Music is at the heart of our community, offering our residents countless ways to connect, relax, and celebrate life. We’re proud to offer a living environment that doesn’t just meet the needs of our residents but inspires them to live fully, surrounded by friends, joy, and the timeless gift of music.

“Music calms the savage beast! I’m kidding, but seriously, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t appreciate soothing music.” -Brent E., resident

For older adults, music isn’t just a form of entertainment; it’s a way to build memories, relieve stress, and stay connected with others. At Treeo, we make music a joyful part of everyday life, providing a warm, welcoming space for residents to embrace the healing power of music and find harmony in every moment.
