It’s a common refrain in senior living that today’s assisted living communities are closer to yesterday’s skilled nursing facilities.

Here, at C. W. Post College,
Here, at C. W. Post College, we have been contacted by one of the local nursing homes to have a used iPod drive. It will be interesting to what kind of a response we get.
We did the same thing to no avail
We even reached out to the families of our retirement home (300+) and didn't get a single response. We posted the drive on our facebook page and also did not get any responses. This event ios one I am most interested in making a success because of the potentail yet one I am also most frustrated and let down about. My next alternative is to ask the state for some kind of grant. Does anyone have positive results with grants for music therapy?
We too need pre-loaded iPods for our senior residents!
I am writing out of desperation form Flushing House Retirement Home in Flushing Queens, NY. We have a music therapy class I lead. We are not for profit and have no money. I would do anything for 10-15 pre-loaded iPods but every conduit I have tried to make this ream a reality has fallen on deaf ears. If you or someone who reads this has an idea to help me make this program come to fruition PLEASE contact me at 3475323010. I am the activities director here and this is a fantastic idea. Here's an article about a community that did this and how it changed everything: http://www.retirement-living.com/proaging-network/high-tech-music-therap...

Looks great, if only...
If only we could get our hands on some of these iPods. I love the article but I don't see where or how this facility was able to secure the iPods. We just don't have a budget to purchase them.
