Today we are lucky to have Gail Sonnesso the founder and executive director of GEM Adult Day Services, Inc. Gail uses a blend of her studies in dementia, Rehab, Occupational Therapy and life experiences in therapeutic recreation to design meaningful days for people living with dementia while at the same time supporting their care partners.
In addition, we will have Becky Watson, a Board Certified Music Therapist and the Founder and Owner, Music for Wellness.  Becky has always been passionate about supporting the health and wellness through music and Gail and Becky having been doing some work together to ensure this happens.  
Today we will have a fascinating conversation about the gift of compassion, engagement and music with these two extraordinary women.
