Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will expand two current and add two new partnerships with agencies specializing in work with seniors including those with low-income and memory loss. We will interview partner staff as well as observe and survey participants (or their caregivers as appropriate) at the beginning and end of the project (January 1 to December 31, 2014). 2: We will address the lack of participatory music programming for seniors by delivering music activities at sixteen locations where seniors live or gather. We will collaborate with four agencies specializing in senior programs. We will document attendance of 645 program participants at sixteen sites in the Twin Cities. Feedback will be collected from seniors (or caregivers as appropriate) and agency staff.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More seniors have access to MacPhail Music for Life through new and expanded work Ebenezer, Lyngblomsten, Ecumen and the Alzheimer's Association of Minnesota-North Dakota. 2: MacPhail listened to the needs of seniors, caregivers and partner staff to create participatory music learning programs for seniors with memory loss.
