Hi, I'm Jackie, an Occupational Therapist who's been specializing in Aging and Dementia Care for more than a dozen years now.
Working inside the healthcare system for a decade made it obvious to me how under-served and unsupported families were when they had a loved one with cognitive decline, but it really hit home for me when I saw how my own parents struggled when my grandparents were diagnosed with dementia.
I knew they - and every other family - could overcome the sense of helplessness and pain they felt if they just had the right support, so I created Golden Aging Answers to provide that support.
Now I focus on helping people whose aging parents are experiencing cognitive decline with practical, evidence-based information and strategies to support not only their parents' well-being, but also their own.
