Helping us explore a transformative approach to dementia care grounded in creativity, empathy, and presence, is Dr. Anne Basting, Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the visionary founder of TimeSlips. She shares her groundbreaking work using creative care techniques that help professional and family caregivers build meaningful connections with people living with dementia. We dive into the power of "beautiful questions," improvisation, and storytelling as tools to engage memory loss with curiosity rather than correction. We learn how shifting from memory-based questions to open-ended prompts can spark joy, connection, and dignity in dementia care.
