Our loved ones with memory loss deserve better.
I don't think most people comprehend the intricate challenges and stressors that accompany developing dementia or caring for someone who is developing progressive memory loss.
Since I have been helping my parents for the last several years as they manage the challenges of my dad's dementia, I have grown to understand we must seek additional ways to support caregiving families.
My personality makes me want to seek solutions for challenges I see around me. I have worked in the social impact sector (nonprofit organizations) for 30 years. I've learned that it is possible to make a difference. Sometimes it's a difference for one person, and sometimes you can make a difference for a whole family, classroom, or community.
One of my first dementia-related projects was a guided journal to help families communicate about the personhood of their loved one. I am excited to see this idea take hold and help more people with dementia build connections with the team of people helping care for them.
Now, my husband and I are branching out to help improve safety around the home. Falls, burns, medication errors, wandering... there are many kinds of accidents waiting to happen. We are targeting seniors hoping to live in place (also called "aging in place") for many years, as well as families who are providing care for someone with memory or physical impairment. And, YES, anyone of any age can get a Home Safety Evaluation from Serenity Senior Home Safety Solutions! And, we unapologetically have the safety needs of senior adults and special caregiving families as an important priority.
