It may be time to take a different approach when caring for our loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

In her new book and resource called the “Creative Care Imagination Kit," Dr. Basting offers up tips and methods that will provide a fun and creative way to “connect.” In this interview, Dr. Basting explains why shifting away from memory can help us connect with our loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer's.
