About this listen

Over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other associated dementias amid a shortage of health professionals trained to care for aging adults. Drs. Anne Kerber and Kristi Oeding of Minnesota State University Mankato join co-host Dr. Lynn Harter and introduce artful place-making as an innovative approach to organizing and teaching care for people with dementias. They explore the multi-sensory and therapeutic potentials of gardening and how artful place-making can unsettle dominant narratives of aging and disability that over-emphasize deficits.
