What If Dementia Care Looked Different? Using LEGO to Create Connection and Joy

Описание: How LEGO Serious Play Helps People Living With Dementia

What if dementia care looked different than we have been taught to expect?

In this virtual Coffee Chat, we explore a new way forward in dementia care that centers on connection, creativity, and what is still possible.

Our featured speaker, Loretta Woodward Veney, spent 16 years caring for her mother through dementia. Along that journey, she discovered that even as memory and language changed, the ability to connect did not disappear. It simply showed up differently.

A New Way to Connect in Dementia Care | LEGO Serious Play

This session introduces LEGO Serious Play as a powerful tool to help people living with dementia:
• Express themselves
• Engage emotionally
• Experience moments of joy

While also giving caregivers permission to pause, reframe, and feel supported.

This conversation is for:
• Family caregivers
• Professional caregivers
• Anyone supporting someone living with dementia
• Those looking for more humane, meaningful approaches to care

At Visiting Angels, we believe care is more than tasks and routines. It is about honoring dignity, fostering connection, and supporting both those receiving care and those giving it.

If this conversation resonates with you, we invite you to like, share, and subscribe for more caregiver education and community conversations.
