Dementia Workshops
Learning to Meet Memory Loss with Skill, Presence, and Care
Dementia Care Workshop Series
Caring for someone with dementia asks something different of us. It is about learning how to be with someone whose experience of the world is changing, sometimes moment to moment.
It asks us to respond to confusion, repetition, or agitation with steadiness, curiosity, and care, and to stay present in moments that can feel disorienting or hard to reach.
At Biscochito, we support caregivers in ways that help them feel more steady, more capable, and more connected to the people they care for.
This workshop brings together dementia specialists and caregivers to share practical tools, lived experience, and ways of working that strengthen relationship.
What This Workshop Offers
A four-hour, in-person workshop for caregivers supporting people with memory loss, cognitive decline, or dementia.
We’ll explore:
- How dementia changes a person’s experience
- How to respond in ways that preserve and grow relationship
- Real caregiving moments and how to move through them
- Space for questions and shared experience
Format
- One four-hour workshop
- Small group in a beautiful private home
- A shared meal (brunch or lunch)
*Based on interest and experts’ availability, Dementia Workshops happen as frequently as quarterly.
Why This Matters
Being in a caregiving relationship with someone with dementia is often very challenging.
Agitation, withdrawal, repetition, or resistance can be forms of communication.
When we recognize and respond to what’s underneath:
- We become less reactive
- We understand more
- We feel more confident
- The relationship has more room to grow
This workshop is a chance to learn and practice how to be in relationship with someone living with dementia.

Join Us
At Biscochito, caregiving is relational. We believe: caregivers need support, the work is stronger when people are connected, and when caregivers are resourced, everyone benefits. This workshop is another step toward building a supported caregiving community.
