Dementia profoundly changed my life, both as a daughter and as a professional. I watched a small piece of my mother disappear each day over the course of several years—a heartbreaking journey that shaped my understanding of caregiving. Later, as the owner of a home care agency for over 10 years, I saw another side of the struggle—my caregivers, dedicated and compassionate, often felt unprepared and overwhelmed when working with clients living with dementia.

Time and again, I witnessed the frustration of my staff as they tried to provide effective care, only to realize they lacked the tools and understanding to truly connect. It became painfully clear: traditional dementia training wasn’t enough. Random modules and check-the-box requirements failed to equip caregivers with the knowledge and confidence they needed.

My personal experience inspired me to create the change I wanted to see in the caregiving world and in the positive experiences of families. When I began sharing this knowledge with my team, the transformation was remarkable. Caregivers became more confident, more effective, and more connected. Clients and families noticed the difference, too—it was a shift that extended beyond tasks and routines to create deeper, more meaningful relationships.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this training to empower agency owners and their teams to elevate the quality of dementia care they provide. It’s not just about learning the tasks; it’s about fostering meaningful connections and making a lasting difference in the lives of caregivers, clients, and their families.

With the right knowledge, I’ve witnessed lives transform—caregivers feeling more confident and connected, clients receiving compassionate care, and families finding comfort and trust. That’s the true power of understanding dementia care, and it’s a mission that fills my heart with pride and purpose.
