"Engagement Party"

How to talk to someone with dementia

Feeling stressed about visiting your friend with dementia? Engagement parties are informal and joyful gatherings for those who want to visit with a friend, family member or neighbor.

When spending time with someone who might be lonely, frail or experiencing memory loss, our default is often to ask, "Do you remember when . . .?" However, at this party attendees will learn simple engagement techniques that can create shared moments of imagination - without relying on memory, and with no right or wrong answers.
