FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Austin tx, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) April 14, 2011 -- Austin, TX – April 14, 2011: Coro Health LLC, a leading provider of therapeutic audio solutions for the long-term care market, announced today that AlzCare in New Braunfels, TX, has successfully implemented its system for their memory care residents.

“We center our individualized care around integrity, service, dignity, and excellence” says AlzCare Residence Manager Marcus Mercer. “Coro Health’s audio system is another step in supporting our care goals. We’ve been thrilled with the effectiveness of the service, adding another layer of positive energy to our environment for residents, families, and caregivers alike.”

The Coro Health system has been clinically proven to lower both agitation and depression by up to 54%, and the benefits of therapeutic music for those suffering from various forms of dementia are well documented. Research proves that music has the ability to aid in memory recall, positively impact mood, decrease stress, and lower medication usage.

“As the number of people being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s continues to rise dramatically, we’re pleased to offer non-pharmacological options that assist in improving the quality of life for residents living in locations just like AlzCare” says Coro Health President and co-founder, Brian Anderson. “AlzCare is home to wonderful people and an amazing staff, and we are thrilled to embark on this partnership.”

Residents that participate in the MusicFirst program receive individualized music, faith and media prescriptions from Coro Health’s team of neuroscientists, music therapists, media designers and registered nurses. The content is then delivered directly into a resident’s room on-demand or at scheduled times throughout the day. The music and media is used to help transition, relax, reflect, stimulate and manage various symptoms. Caregivers are trained to proactively use MusicFirst in conjunction with a resident’s medical plan of care. Furthermore, on-site therapists utilize the system to compliment their existing therapy programs.
