Creative Engagement
brings meaning and purpose
into the lives of elders and
those who care for them
What Is Creative
Engagement?
Do you know someone who is isolated or perhaps wrestling with dementia? You want to engage but don’t know how?
Let us help. Ask a Beautiful Question and invite someone to imagine, using words, sounds, movements and images. Shift away from the expectation of memory — toward the freedom that imagination can bring.

Signature HealthCARE
KENTUCKY
Over a two year period, 12 Signature HealthCARE nursing homes became Creative Communities of Care. What does that mean? They collaborated with regional and national artists on the TimeSlips team to draw on and celebrate the creative strengths of elders, staff, and volunteers. Together they reimagine the story of Peter Pan and integrated the exploration into daily activities. The project culminated with the performance of an original play. Our CCC training is inspiring aging services providers of all shapes and sizes all across the United States!
