Reading aloud to dogs has proven to develop reading skills, increase enthusiasm for reading, promote confidence and teach children how to interact with animals.

Anam Cara Caregiving invites you to an evening of meaningful conversation and connection.
Join Sarah Wilzbacher, RN, MA, Co-Executive Director of Care at Anam Cara Caregiving, and Jim Hutchison, PA-C, Internal Medicine Provider at Lander Medical Clinic, as they guide a heartfelt discussion about what it means to care for aging loved ones from a distance.
As the holidays approach, many families visit home and realize just how much has changed—a parent who’s less steady on their feet, a fridge that’s emptier, repetitive questions and stories. These moments can stir worry, guilt, and uncertainty about what to do next.
Together, we’ll explore:
-What it means to notice changes from afar and recognize when support may be needed
-Ways to stay involved and coordinate care from a distance with compassion and clarity
-How families can communicate across distance, difference, and love
What to do when you and your loved one see their needs differently

Something Changed in the Room follows music therapist and songwriter Hilary Camino as she treats people living with dementia and Parkinson’s at a senior living community in Wyoming.

Balancing a family and her own music career, Hilary builds something intimate and intangible with the residents, unveiling a life-affirming resilience that we all share. Through her therapy sessions connecting with residents Danny, LaReta, Nanci and Polly, Hilary bridges an emotional gap to what is happening with residents internally as they navigate this stage of life.

This documentary examines the limits of one’s compassion and the idea of healing through human connection. Working through the grief inherent in end-of-life care, Hilary finds strength and solace in her own music, propelling her forward as she tries to improve the emotional, cognitive and physical lives of the residents.
