Fostering Connection and Joy in Prescott

At iCARE Adult Day Center, Music & Movement Sessions fill our center with song, dance, and pure joy! From 1940s big band to modern favorites, participants sing along, sway in chairs, and clap to live performances by our music therapist. No experience needed—just a willingness to let music work its magic on body and soul.

Empowering Our Care Team

Our adaptive approach ensures everyone participates comfortably, whether humming softly or leading the chorus. These sessions aren’t just entertainment—they’re science-backed therapy that reawakens memories, coordinates movement, and melts away stress. Families tell us it’s the highlight of every week!
