Empowering people living with dementia
Testimonial
Dementia is like snowflakes - no two people are alike. When my dad started struggling, I turned to Mary constantly for advice and strategies for making his life better while helping address family challenges. Her endless resources and energy assisted in every manner from suggesting care givers and doctors to offering everyday tools and words of encouragement. Having her on our team lightened everyone’s hearts and helped us feel we were doing all we could for Dad. Her words aren’t theoretical. She lived it personally and professionally, and she knows. We are forever thankful.

Mary provided several dementia trainings at my place of employment, including a Certified Dementia Practitioner's course. Not only does Mary offer an extensive knowledge base and experience on the topic, her fun, friendly, and humorous personality while teaching engages all participants. It is truly a win win for someone needing support in caring for someone with dementia, whether you are a healthcare professional or loved one/caregiver. Since her training, I have implemented various tools and strategies when interacting with residents who have a dementia/Alzheimer diagnosis. She has given me the ability to provide a higher level of support and care for residents and their loved ones, for that I am beyond grateful.
