JAEL SAMBRANO AT VINEYARD RANCH AT TEMECULA

I first started working with Jael and Vineyard Ranch in January of 2019 and had a positive experience from the moment I met her! She exudes a kind, compassionate, caring presence for her memory care residents. I love doing group music therapy sessions at Vineyard Ranch because not only do the residents participate and engage, but employees and caregivers like Jael sit with us and participate, adding to the vibrant environment of the session.

Jael shares what she loves about working with memory care residents:
“What I love most about my job is walking into the Memory Care Unit first thing in the morning and seeing the residents recognize me. They may not remember my name, but they always recognize my face and my voice. What’s even better is knowing that I get to help people journey through a difficult season of life, bringing joy and compassionate caring into their worlds when they feel alone and isolated.”

I witness the truth of her words every time I go to Vineyard Ranch to do group music therapy with the residents. They love her, and she loves them - it’s all about connecting with others through compassionate care in every word and action, and Jael does just that.

Thank you, Jael, for making a difference in the lives at Vineyard Ranch at Temecula and for partnering with Transformational Health Music Therapy Services by providing compassionate, holistic care!
