Do you have a parent, grandparent, relative or friend living in residential aged care?

For many people, visiting a loved one can be emotionally challenging. You may worry about what to say, how to start a conversation, or how to connect when memory loss or dementia has changed the relationship you once had. Sometimes visits can leave you feeling helpless, heartbroken or guilty, making it harder to return the next time.

The good news is that meaningful connection is still possible.

In this practical and uplifting workshop, you'll discover simple strategies that can transform your visits from stressful and uncertain to enjoyable, rewarding and memorable. You'll learn how to communicate more effectively, create moments of connection, and find new ways to engage with your loved one—regardless of their cognitive abilities.

Drawing on almost a decade of entertaining in aged care settings, together with her personal experience supporting parents and grandparents living with dementia, Ailsa Page shares real-life insights, practical ideas, humour and compassion.

You'll leave with greater confidence, fresh inspiration and a personalised action plan to help make every visit more meaningful—for both you and your loved one.
