I had such a pleasant conversation with Cailey Massey, owner of Artfull Aging. Art programs in Long Term Care is a vital creative outlet for older adults living in these communities. I can attest first-hand how important working with a professional artist is when establishing an art program in your community. Cailey has thought of it all and has created a program that can be catered to your specific community needs.

Cailey also addresses some crucial things to consider in the field as we move away from the medical model and embrace person-centered care. Art needs to be in the conversation, and she’ll explain why.

I enjoyed our conversation and looked forward to sharing it with you. So grab a cup of tea (or coffee) and enjoy!
