Innovation Meets Compassion in Memory Care

Join us for an engaging Lunch & Learn experience where healthcare professionals and community partners will explore how innovation and compassionate care combine to create meaningful, personalized experiences for residents living with memory loss. Come see how technology and heart come together to create meaningful moments in memory care.

Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it. During this interactive session, guests will discover how innovative tools are helping teams provide engagement, comfort, and purposeful moments for residents living with dementia.

Experience the Innovation

Participants will enjoy a hands-on demonstration of two groundbreaking engagement technologies used in memory care:

• CRDL – A sensory communication tool that creates calming and meaningful moments
  of connection through touch and vibration.
• Tovertafel (Magic Table) – An interactive light projection system designed specifically for individuals living with dementia that encourages movement, socialization, and joy.

Guests will have the opportunity to:

• Touch and experience the CRDL device
• Interact with the Tover Table Pixie
• View a short video presentation demonstrating the Tover Table in action
• Learn how these tools support engagement, reduce isolation, and enhance quality of life
