Dr. Anne Basting on the Power of Imagination in Dementia Care

Dr. Anne Basting joins Remo Health to discuss her pioneering work in transforming conventional dementia care by exploring the power of creativity and storytelling. Her trademark “TimeSlips method” encourages caregivers to shift the focus from lost memories to new ways of connecting with their loved ones. Drawing from over 25 years of experience, Dr. Basting teaches us how improvisational storytelling techniques can transform passive care settings into lively and engaging spaces. She explains how caregivers can engage with individuals living with dementia in a way that moves beyond the "cold truth" or "therapeutic lie" by focusing on fostering genuine connection and living in the moment together.
