I have always loved elderly people, and the confused ones have always been my very favorites!

I have worked as an elder care professional for over twenty years in capacities ranging from frontline care, activity therapy, care coordination, administration, family support and staff education. Most of that time I have specialized in memory care.

Over the years I have learned that, not only do I love elders with dementia, I also love sharing information with those who care for them. I like helping to ease the experience and enhance quality of life.

Also, I love writing, so 1+1+1 = this blog!

I plan to focus mainly on behavioral communication, namely deciphering what our loved ones are trying to tell us with their behavior.

(I will probably not be able to resist sneaking in a few other tips and general info about dementia care here and there as well!)

Please let me know if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover. I'd be glad to help.
