Description: SURVIVE and THRIVE in the world of dementia! This is your personal guide from an industry insider to give you all the tips and techniques that professionals use every day while working with this painful disease. This knowledge can lead you into a relationship that is more peaceful, loving and fulfilling. Johnna Lowther has worked in the field of recreational therapy since 2001 and is currently the Director of Life Enrichment for Tutera Senior Living & Healthcare. Throughout her career, she has seen first-hand the positive effect that creative and artistic therapies can have on seniors living in residential settings, especially those battling Alzheimer's and other dementias. "By tapping into the creative side of the brain, you can access a powerful tool for communication. Offering various opportunities to engage and interact in a creative form is vitally important to those living with dementia. It becomes a communication outlet that re-connects them to living," says Lowther. With over 14 years of experience working in Assisted Living, Long-Term Care and Skilled Nursing communities, Lowther develops and implements programs that improve the daily lives of those battling dementia. In addition to partnering with healthcare staff, she also consults with families in supportive services that help meet the unique challenges loved ones face with this disease. She currently lives in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband and their chocolate lab, whom they fondly refer to as their "big ol' hunk of chocolate!"
