By incorporating art and creativity into elder care settings, gerontologist Anne Basting helps families reconnect with loved ones who have dementia.
In this moving talk, she shares how asking "beautiful questions" -- questions that don't have a right or wrong answer -- opens up a shared path of discovery, imagination and wonder.
"If we can infuse creativity into care, caregivers can invite a partner into meaning-making," Basting says.
"In that moment, care, which is so often associated with loss, can become generative."
