Praise for Pablo Grabiel:
“Pablo Grabiel with Portland Music Entertainment really knows his seniors. Not only can he entertain our Assisted Living residents but our Memory Care Community (The Arbor) as well. Our staff and residents have requested him specifically when it comes to special events. Pablo provides a wide range of musical styles from latin to swing to pop and golden oldies and furthermore his repertoire touches on some of the tunes from long ago that resonate with that special someone in the crowd. He can do sing a long, instrumentals and is very engaging and interactive with the crowd. I highly recommend Pablo Grabiel for any entertainment needs. He is very compassionate and genuine. Avamere at Sandy is grateful to consider Pablo one of our “regulars” and “resident favorites”….” Amy C., Life Enrichment Director, Avamere at Sandy
“What can I say about Mr. Pablo Grabiel? He makes it a point to remember the residents he visits. This is a large over 250 bed facility. This man can remember most of the resident’s names that he has visited in his 1 on 1 program. He is versatile. Whatever they ask for, he can at least play one verse of it. If you want a band he can provide that too. He is the ultimate professional musician and a joy to work with. He’ll definitely give you your money’s worth. A jewel!!!” Celeste KT Brooks, RRT, Director of Therapeutic Activities, Stoddard Baptist Global Care, Inc., Washington , DC
