About

Caregivers

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!

It's proof that those living with dementia can (and should!) continue to connect with loved ones and caregivers through moments of joy and shared imagination.

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
