Bringing art and creativity into elder care settings helps families reconnect with loved ones who have dementia.

Caring for, lecturing and writing about dementias such as Alzheimer's, I work to preserve the dignity of people affected by one of the greater challenges of our generation.

The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.
