We’re deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for Caring Conversations: A Dementia Caregivers Forum at The Waters of Edina. It was a truly meaningful evening, filled with connection, compassion, and valuable resources for those navigating the journey of dementia care.
Whether you’re a caregiver, family member, or professional, your presence helped make this event a success—and we hope you left feeling supported, encouraged, and inspired.
Here’s a look at what attendees experienced:
Caregiver Resource Fair
Guests had the opportunity to connect with trusted local experts in:
- Personal care, home health, and hospice
- Alzheimer’s Association support
- Music, speech, occupational, and physical therapy
- Sensory therapy education and tools
Plus, a virtual tour of our Petals Neighborhood showcased how individuals living with dementia can truly thrive.
Guided Dementia Simulation Experience
Participants gained powerful insight by stepping into the shoes of someone living with dementia. This eye-opening experience highlighted both the challenges and the importance of empathy in caregiving.
Caring for the Caregiver
Because caregivers deserve care too, we offered:
- Complimentary wine, beer, and refreshments
- Relaxing mini massages
- Free essential oil samples for relaxation and wellness
Live Q&A Panel with Dementia Care Specialists
A highlight of the evening, this open and honest discussion allowed attendees to ask real questions and receive meaningful, expert guidance.

We’d love to welcome you to our next Caring Conversations forum on Monday, July 15th at The Waters of Highland Park.
