Is someone important in your life living with dementia? Too often, receiving a diagnosis of dementia ends with a physician saying, “There’s not much we can do. Prepare to move to a facility, and good luck.”

The good news is there are answers to these questions! The journey can still be challenging, but we would like to help you find a path that includes autonomy, safety, dignity, and joy.
