Testimonials
"Thank you for coming today. You truly make a difference in mom's life and mine. She has been talking in small sentences to me - I'm amazed. [Her] aide came later today (she sees her every day) and was amazed at how interactive and "talking" mom was doing. So thank you from my full heart! you really awaken something in my mom. A part comes back."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Kelsie for the last 4 years while she has been with Inspiration Hospice. Kelsie has been the music therapist for many of my patients and they have loved having her as part of their hospice team. Aside from being a talented musician, Kelsie has a presence that is very personable and compassionate, and she has the ability to engage people regardless of personality or disease process (i.e. dementia). She is knowledgeable about hospice and end of life challenges. I have watched her bring many a smile to those who may feel there is no longer much to smile about anymore. We had one patient who was non-engllish speaking, blind, chair/bed bound and nearly 100 yrs old... Kelsie was the highlight of his week when she would come, letting him play her guitar as he sang out songs of his Greek childhood with utter delight. This also meant the world to this man's caregiver son. I've seen her calm the anxious and provide comfort and peace with her music. For me it has been a joy to work with Kelsie and she has my highest recommendation." -Cheryle, Social Worker

"I have personally witnessed the joy and comfort that Kelsie and her music bring to my hospice patients. Her gentle approach and understanding of hospice and its uniqueness make her services invaluable to those patients who utilize her services, they not only look forward to her visits but ask about her often. I have witnessed a non verbal dementia patient come to clarity and sing along to a familiar songs. Her sweet disposition and kindness go along way in building trust and relationships with our patient and family's as well." -Leann, Hospice Nurse
