171. How To Transform Any Activity Into A Meaningful Dementia Activity With Angela Fairhurst


Listen Later

Do you struggle to connect with your loved one who has dementia?

Imagine visiting your mother, who is deep into her dementia journey. You bring her a toy from home, desperate to find something to bring comfort or joy. 

It’s simple—a child’s bucket toy—but something amazing happens. Your mother, who has been disengaged, suddenly lights up. She’s curious. Her hands, once clenched, reach out to explore this new object. 

That simple moment sparks something much bigger—an idea that will change the way we think about caring for those with dementia.

In this episode, Lizette speaks with Angela Fairhurst, the creator of Geri-Gadgets, an innovative product designed to engage and enrich the lives of individuals living with dementia. 

Angela Fairhurst is a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for innovation. As the CEO and Founder of Geri-Gadgets® (https://www.geri-gadgets.com), Angela has carved out a niche in the realm of senior care with her groundbreaking patented products. Angela's expertise spans multiple domains; 


She’s a seasoned television and event producer, and an Executive in Charge of Production at Fairhurst Productions, Inc, and former Executive Director of the Chambers Group, a consumer products marketing firm. 
Now she's bringing her wealth of experience and creativity to the forefront of dementia care.
