Client reviews
““Jakob is professional and warm, engaging the residents through both conversation and music. I have watched patients who no longer speak, come alive and sing along to the familiar favorites he plays. Jakob has learned special songs per resident requests as well as traditional Swiss, German and Scandinavian tunes that reflect his heritage. Jakob has become a favorite regular at Kline Galland amongst staff and residents alike, I highly recommend him. ”
“Jakob Bean is a true professional. His demeanor and dedication to his craft are apparent. We look forward to having him back at our Oktoberfest and Tree Lighting events!”
