The Joy of Creative Engagement for Caregivers
We provide caregivers tools for their own self-care and their caregiving, which can assist in preventing long term burnout.
When we support caregivers in managing the reactive emotions of the individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s they care for and themselves, using creative tools like and music and storytelling, their relationship with the one they care for is deepened and more meaningful.

“This is a powerful way of engaging the caregivers and other attendees to relax and reduce their stress. Stories Love Music underscores well the importance of music and story telling as another positive approach to engaging people and the challenges they face as they age. This is a great alternative method to connect meaningfully with memory impaired individuals, no special equipment needed to implement. I got a new understanding of making connections and communicating. I would like more caregivers to be able to experience the power of this for themselves and their loved ones.”
