I played music wellness programs, hired as an entertainer in healthcare facilities, after 20 years of not being able to make a living as a jazz flutist (I don't double on sax and women are still only about 3% of jazz instrumentalists). I loved my work - I would profile people and try to pick songs they may have listened to during their adolescence, when our identities are forming. Twice I woke folks up who doctors could not rouse (comas?) and often was thanked profusely by the residents themselves. One woman even said, "You make me glad I live here" which is quite a compliment. Anyway, it's quite different from hospice so maybe I should stop there~

I was an RN in Hospice care from 1998-2002. I did in-home care.

Was a nursing assistant on the late stage wing of a dementia facility. was similar to hospice. very intense depressing did it for 7 years.
