We Train, Support, and Inspire Caregivers to Unlock Imagination, Connection, and Meaning in Every Interaction.
TimeSlips shifts from the expectation of memory, to the exploration of imagination. Our evidence-based and award-winning approach brings joy to elders and their care partners by infusing creativity and meaning-making into care relationships and systems.
We began with one volunteer in 1998. We became an independent non-profit in 2013, and we now train and certify facilitators across the world.
Our bold vision is that creative expression, growth, and meaning should be available to us at every stage of life – no matter where we live or what our abilities may be.
We aim to change the way people understand and experience aging by bringing young people into positive relationships with elders; enabling family members to have meaningful emotional connections despite cognitive changes; and infusing creativity into our care systems by inspiring staff to feed their own creativity while inviting elders to imagine and express themselves.
TimeSlips was founded by Anne Basting, writer, artist, and internationally recognized leader in creative engagement and aging. As Emerita Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, her work has reshaped how organizations approach dementia care, aging, and communication by demonstrating that creativity is a powerful pathway to dignity, connection, and participation.

Caregivers are remarkable. This month (and every month) we are happy to celebrate caregivers everywhere! November is National Family Caregivers Month — a time to recognize the essential role caregivers play in health and well-being, and to lift up the people who show up every day with love. At TimeSlips, we believe caregiving can also be a source of discovery. Through Beautiful Questions, imagination, and creativity, we open new pathways to connection and joy for caregivers and the loved ones they support. Alongside libraries, arts and culture organizations, senior centers and care communities, we’re working to bring light to joyful moments in care. Because dementia is hard, but joy IS possible! Take advantage of our Friends and Family caregiver resources linked in our bio, and please consider making a donation to help us keep them free and accessible. Please consider donating to our 10 Million Moments of Joy and Connection Campaign to support our free caregiver resources!

Ride along with Regenia, a Meals on Wheels delivery driver for Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago, as she delivers creativity with each meal by asking “Beautiful Questions”. TimeSlips has worked with several home delivered meal programs, including a two-year pilot with @mealsonwheelsamerica to help reduce loneliness and social isolation. Through these partnerships, we’ve created training opportunities specifically designed for staff, well-check caller volunteers, and delivery drivers. Our methods increase opportunities for connection and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, even in just 30 seconds.

The magic doesn't stay in the room. Laughter. Friendship. Connection. A participant loved TimeSlips so much she took it home — now her whole family gathers on weekends with old photos, asking Beautiful Questions, creating stories together. That's the ripple effect.

Nearly thirty years ago, Anne Basting asked a question that changed everything. What if we stopped asking people to remember and started inviting them to imagine? Through “Beautiful Questions,” Anne discovered a pathway to connection that shifts us away from the expectation of memory and toward the freedom of imagination. In her TED Talk “How to Meaningfully Reconnect with Those Who Have Dementia,” Anne shares how bringing creative care to scale — embedded within care systems — could ease so much pain. Watch as she brings together artists, staff, and elders to reimagine stories and create beauty and meaning together. This is the work. This is the vision. 🔗 Link in bio to watch Anne’s full talk and learn how you can bring TimeSlips to your community. #TimeSlipsCreativeCare #BeautifulQuestions #CreativeCare

It’s easy to get stuck thinking about the stages of dementia. We’re told that people in mid to late stages can’t communicate. They can’t be creative, or connect. The focus is on what is gone.

That moment? That's everything. Your $250 donation trains one caregiver to unlock moments with the people others have given up on.

Watch another beautiful connection unfold in this clip from The Penelope Documentary. Maureen and Elizabeth discover something profound together — that pretending to be someone else isn’t escape, it’s permission. Permission to participate. Permission to show up fully. Permission to be brave. And when Maureen sees Elizabeth light up with this realization? A true connection is formed. They understand each other in a different light, and it’s a beautiful thing. This is a glimpse into the potential that creativity has in care settings. This is what the play Finding Penelope, inspired by The Odyssey, captures.

No pressure. No performance. Just imagination and connection. This is the revolutionary shift TimeSlips brings to dementia care. When memory is taken off the table, something beautiful happens, and residents feel the relief of it. Without the pressure to remember things, there is more room to focus on what they still can do. TimeSlips shifts away from what is lost, and celebrates all that still remains. Here, in this space, there is no need to perform. And suddenly, everyone wins. This is why we do this work. Every $250 donation trains one caregiver to create moments where people can simply be themselves.
