CreativeZen Talks Presents Tino Negri (10/9/26)

Join us for our monthly breakfast lecture series @ Zero Empty Spaces (artist studio spaces) inside the Design Center Of The Americas (DCOTA) About the Speaker Tino Negri is an owner of ComForcare Senior Services, a family owned, private-duty, non-medical, home care agency, serving Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties and the Treasure Coast. ComForcare helps seniors and adults with chronic health conditions and other age-related ailments remain safely at home while maintaining dignity, independence, and quality of life. ComForcare provides personalized caregiving, companionship, and family education for Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and other related dementias allowing clients to age in place while giving families peace of mind. He is a National Certified Alzheimer’s Educator, dementia care advocate, and sought-after speaker dedicated to improving the lives of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as the families and professionals who care for them. Tino’s passion for music, combined with his expertise in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, led him to create Joyful Melodies, an interactive music program offered monthly at more than 35 assisted living facilities, memory care communities, and day centers. The program uses familiar songs to encourage participation, engagement, and connection among individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. With years of experience working directly with older adults and their caregivers, Tino has become recognized for his practical, compassionate, and person-centered approach to dementia care. He is a developer and educator of the DementiaWise™ training program, an evidence-based approach designed to help caregivers better understand dementia, reduce challenging behaviors, improve communication, and create meaningful engagement for those living with cognitive impairment. Tino’s mission is simple: to help families and caregivers move beyond fear and frustration and discover connection, purpose, and even joy throughout the dementia journey. Through educational workshops, support groups, keynote presentations, and community outreach programs, he empowers audiences with actionable strategies that improve quality of life for both caregivers and those they support. A passionate advocate for dementia education, Tino has presented at conferences, healthcare organizations, community groups, and caregiver support programs throughout the country. His work emphasizes therapeutic communication, validation, preserving dignity, and recognizing the abilities that remain rather than focusing solely on what has been lost. Known for his engaging storytelling, humor, and heartfelt approach, Tino inspires audiences to see dementia care through a different lens—one rooted in empathy, understanding, and hope. When he is not speaking or teaching, Tino works closely with families navigating the challenges of dementia and remains committed to advancing education and awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

About CreativeZen CreativeZen is a free monthly breakfast lecture series presented by Choose954, a division of The UniteUs Group, and hosted in partnership with Zero Empty Spaces. Held on the second Friday morning of each month, these inspiring gatherings feature local voices sharing heartfelt stories of creativity, purpose, reinvention, and community impact. Each talk is designed to uplift, connect, and inspire our local creative community. Being creative is not required. Being inspired is guaranteed. CreativeZen was born out of a desire for Choose954 to connect, engage, and inspire our local creative community with support from Zero Empty Spaces and The UniteUs Group. We open the doors 30 minutes before the talk begins so attendees can mix, meet, and mingle with like-minded members of the community. Every CreativeZen event includes a complimentary guided meditation before a short, inspiring, and thought-provoking talk. All CreativeZen events are free of charge and open to the community.
