Merrymakers Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to brightening the lives of seniors and elderly through music and laughter. Merrymakers provides live, musical performances to 90 area senior living facilities. Each care center receives a monthly visit from Merrymakers, at no cost to the facilities. Hands clap, toes tap, and sleepy eyes twinkle, at a Merrymakers performance. Residents enjoy an opportunity to move to music that sparks a happy memory. Music is often used with elders to increase levels of physical, emotional and mental functioning. The sensory and intellectual stimulation of music can help maintain or improve a persons quality of life. Merrymakers provides a variety of quality performances to address the musical preferences of all seniors.
