About Sarah

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am an accomplished design professional and a recently retired Active Living Director of a memory care community. I've worked with seniors with all levels of memory loss and cognitive abilities. I love exploring activities that meet their interests or abilities and make them feel they still have a lot to give and share in their lives. My goal is to bring these activities to seniors one-on-one. My own mother had dementia, and it was a similar companion who helped her stay engaged with her friends, continue activities at home, and take her on errands or to appointments as needed. I love to bringing simple crafts, word games, challenging games or puzzles, reading, light exercise, music and companionship to seniors living with dementia in a loving and compassionate way.

Sarah is an absolute gem. She cared for my dad during a very difficult time as he transitioned into memory care. She treated him with compassion and a great deal of respect. Our family was so in awe of her abilities to adapt and pivot as times changed. I would 100% recommend her for caring for your loved ones. She will put you at ease right away!
