Program Details
Tele-Stories invites elders into creative and engaging conversations from the comfort of their own homes. Building from the concept of “well check calls” which are meant to address basic physical needs, Tele-Stories tends to social and emotional wellbeing by using creativity to forge connections and reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
- Every Tele-Stories facilitator is certified in TimeSlips and trained in how to facilitate creative engagement remotely
- Through a series of calls, a Certified TimeSlips Facilitator guides the participant through various creative activities, from storytelling to poetry
- The calls build off of one another and the conversations that are had act as inspiration for the facilitator to create a shareable creative collaborative gift with the elder and the broader community
- Each Tele-Stories experience is completely unique and customized for each participant
Use Case
TimeSlips secured a $100,000 grant from the Milwaukee Civic Response grant program to support 10 Milwaukee-based artists to offer Tele-Stories to 10 older adults. Artists delivered 30-minute calls over 12 weekly sessions and the results were amazing.

Impact
George, D., et.al. (2011) Gerontologist
“…the first known pilot study to suggest that participation in a creative group-based storytelling program might improve medical student attitudes toward persons with dementia.”
Swinnen, de Medeiros & Pruchno (2018)
Close readings of the transcripts and notes from the programs resulted in three observations: people learned to play again, there is power in playing together, and play often led to expressions of joy. Overall, the notion of play may be a helpful framework for future research into innovative arts-based approaches to dementia care.
Heuer, Sabine (2020)
TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.
