How can I bring TimeSlips to my home, my school, or my community?
How to get involved
a few clear steps and ideas
TimeSlips is infusing creativity into care relationships and across care systems to bring meaning and joy to elders wherever they live and whatever their abilities.
This means there are many ways to get involved!
TimeSlips offers training and support to families, students and volunteers, and any organization serving older adults, from nursing homes to Meals on Wheels and museum education programs.
You can simply use the Creativity Center, or train as an individual or organization and join our inspiring international network of people changing the way we experience aging and dementia.
Encourage your organization to become a Creative Community of Care.
Share our What is TimeSlips? flyer with local care organizations.
Donate to our Innovation Fund to help bring our programs to families across the world.
Visit our Creativity Center (Resources) and invite a friend or family member to imagine with you.

Announcing Some Recent Changes to our Staff
We are a small but mighty team, and are excited to announce some recent changes to our staff. We are thrilled to welcome Kathy Hawkins as our Engagement Coordinator and Mary Schuler as our Operations and Project Manager.
TimeSlips is thrilled to share an update on funding we received over the last few months -- funding that is supporting specific projects as well as our operations, all of which helps us maintain our support for caregivers who are seeking meaningful ways to engage elders and those living with dementia, especially during this time of continued isolating measures.
Call for Applications for a Community-engaged Composer/Arranger
A creative, community-building project is seeking a composer/arranger to create an original composition for the Durham Children’s Choir. Dementia Inclusive Durham (DID) is partnering with TimeSlips to engage and support people with dementia and their families in Durham, NC, with a special focus on those living alone and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
TimeSlips has partnered with the #ActivitiesStrong initiative led by Linked Senior to launch Shine Your Light – a celebration to illuminate the industry with creative care and celebrate activity and life enrichment professionals and their residents.
TimeSlips Resources for Remote Engagement
As soon as lockdowns started taking place in the United States back in March, TimeSlips began creating and sourcing resources that we could provide to you free of charge, during a time where physical distancing is still required. To help you navigate these resources better, we have compiled a list of them for you to easily access and share.
