This trial is looking at how using telehealth services, like music therapy and social work support, can help improve the well-being of older adults. They are specifically interested in seeing if it can reduce loneliness

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults aged 65 or above, living in Kentucky, who speak English. Participants should be able to use Zoom or have someone to help them with it. It's not for those with substance use disorders or significant sensory impairments that affect Zoom usage, nor current recipients of music therapy and social work.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if telehealth services combining music therapy and social work can improve well-being and cognition in older adults. It compares two methods: one where participants receive both therapies independently, and another where the therapies are coordinated collaboratively.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive interventions like music therapy via telehealth and social support from a worker online, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating.
