My interest in the field of senior care began when my grandfather, at age 80, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. My grandparents were fortunate to have the financial resources and family support needed to effectively manage the disease and anticipate my grandfather’s needs. Over time, it became more difficult for my family to ensure we were providing adequate care for him. During this time I began to consider how complex helping an aging family member, specifically with dementia, must be for people who don’t have available information, financial resources, and support.
