About the Creative Dementia Collective:
We are three millennial women who are passionate about de-stigmatizing and personalizing dementia care. We have a collective 30+ years in the senior care industry, where we all noticed the gaps in supporting people living with dementia and their loved ones. The Creative Dementia Collective was born to fill those gaps and begin to shift the culture of dementia care!
