About this event

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to the ways we connect with our family members and friends living in long-term care homes. For many of us, we are now learning to connect in new ways through video calls, phone calls and physically distanced visits. In September 2020, Vancouver Coastal Health teamed up with the Health Design Lab at Emily Carr University to hold 3 Zoom workshops inviting family members of people living in long-term care homes to join us in coming up with as many ideas as possible for how to connect. The ideas, collected from over 40 families, informed the document Ideas for Connecting: Connecting with loved ones living in long-term care.

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is partnering with the Health Design Lab at Emily Carr University to hold 2 more workshops inviting family members of people living in long-term care homes to join us in coming up with as many ideas as possible for how to connect, to continue to inform this document. The goal of the workshops is to consider, “What are new ideas for connecting?”.

If you are a caregiver who supports a person living in long-term care and you want to share your ideas for connecting, you’re invited to join one of our two online workshops.

Each workshop will be 1.5 hours in length and has room for 20 participants. Please come ready to talk and share ideas with other family members of people living in long-term care homes.

Please choose to attend one of the following two workshops:

Monday, February 22nd 12:00pm-1:30pm

Thursday, February 25th 6:00pm-7:30pm
