Virtual Workshop: When Nostalgia Meets Change – Supporting Loved Ones with Dementia During the Holidays

Symphony Care Management Virtual Workshop - Holidays and Dementia

Wednesday, December 3, 2025 • 11:00am – 12:30pm

The holidays can bring joy, connection, and tradition — but when a loved one is living with dementia, familiar routines may need to change. This workshop helps families, caregivers, and professionals create meaningful, low-stress celebrations by focusing on connection over perfection.

You will learn to:

Recognize how dementia affects comfort, communication, and participation during busy holiday gatherings.

Adapt traditions to meet your loved one where they are now — creating meaningful experiences that feel safe and joyful.

Use environment and routine as tools to reduce confusion and promote calm.

Engage the senses through music, scent, and touch to spark comfort and connection.

Plan inclusive mealtimes that support dignity, independence, and enjoyment.

Balance family expectations with realistic, compassionate care for everyone involved.

Participants will leave with:

  • Practical ideas to simplify and personalize holiday gatherings.

  • Confidence in supporting loved ones with dementia through small but meaningful adjustments.

  • A renewed sense of connection, purpose, and calm for the holiday season.
