In this episode of The Coro Chronicles, we explore the real-world impact of therapeutic engagement tools with Lori Snow, a leader at The Engagement Bundle and a passionate advocate for resident-centered care. Through heartfelt stories and actionable insights, Lori reveals how curated music, entertainment, and wellness programs are changing lives—not just for residents, but for the caregivers and staff who support them.

From Challenge to Connection

Lori has spent years working directly with senior living communities, witnessing both the challenges and triumphs of daily care. Her work centers around one powerful idea: when engagement tools are accessible, personalized, and thoughtfully delivered, they do more than entertain. They restore dignity, reduce agitation, and spark joy—even on the toughest days.

As Lori shares in the episode, it’s not about adding one more task to a caregiver’s day. It’s about making engagement simple, intuitive, and built into the rhythm of care. From music playlists that calm sundowning residents to virtual travel experiences that inspire group conversation, her stories demonstrate how powerful—and practical—these tools can be.

Making It Easy for Staff to Shine

One of the recurring themes in Lori’s work is supporting staff. In a care environment where time is short and burnout is real, engagement needs to be easy. The Engagement Bundle’s plug-and-play content means that even caregivers with no prior experience in programming can confidently deliver meaningful moments.

Whether it’s a quick sing-along in the afternoon or a multisensory video for memory care, these tools help staff connect without needing prep time, performance skills, or extra tech training. The result? A culture shift from “busy work” to true presence.

Stories That Stay With You

Throughout the episode, Lori shares stories that linger: A caregiver who uses therapeutic music to comfort a grieving resident. A team that builds a weekly ritual around a favorite travel program. A quiet resident who lights up when she hears her mother’s favorite song.

These aren’t exceptions—they’re everyday moments made extraordinary through intentional engagement. And they remind us that even small shifts in how we use music and media can unlock big changes in mood, behavior, and connection.

Supporting Whole-Person Wellness

Lori also discusses how wellness goes beyond physical health. Emotional, cognitive, and spiritual dimensions need equal attention—and that’s where tools like The Engagement Bundle make a difference. Designed to support the full spectrum of wellness, these programs empower communities to address the unique needs of every individual.

With contributions from Coro Health, Spiro100, Discover Live, Memory Lane TV, and more, The Engagement Bundle offers a customizable, scalable way to deliver engagement that matters.

Care That Feels Like Care

As Lori puts it, “It’s not about having more—it’s about using what you have in a way that resonates.” Whether you’re a seasoned Activity Director or a first-time caregiver, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes that care should feel personal, joyful, and deeply human.
