Hello, and thank you for visiting Dementia Care 360.

Andrea is a registered nurse who specializes as a dementia care consultant with a master’s degree in nursing and decades of experience helping families navigate the challenges of dementia care. Her clinical expertise, combined with her deep passion for advocacy, has made her a trusted resource for individuals, families, and caregiving professionals seeking guidance.

Her dedication to dementia care is both professional and personal. Her grandfather had Alzheimer’s disease, which gave her firsthand insight into the struggles that families face.

Early in her career, she was the recipient of an award that allowed her to train with neurologists and psychiatrists on dementia care, shaping her approach to compassionate and evidence-based practice. Since then, she has been committed to educating communities, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

As a certified dementia practitioner and certified Dementia Live coach and education partner with Age-u-cate, she consults for multiple agencies, trains employees, and facilitates simulated dementia experiences. She is also an approved instructor for dementia training for healthcare professionals through the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University.

She's been invited to present on dementia by the Chamber of Commerce, the library, the Parkinson’s Foundation, and numerous senior care communities. Her work has been featured on several media outlets (articles and YouTube interviews) and podcasts, including one that described her guidance as “life-changing” for families navigating dementia care.

Beyond her professional work, she actively raises funds for the Alzheimer’s Association, advocating for better resources, research and support. Above all, she believes that no one should face dementia alone. Her mission is to ensure that every individual affected by dementia and their families have the support and resources they need to navigate their journey with confidence, compassion, and dignity.
