Discover Nurse Jen's

Hi, I’m Nurse Jen. I am a Certified Dementia Practitioner with the NCCDP and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Western Carolina University. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 1 in 10 Americans age 65 and older are living with dementia. Throughout my years of experience and specialized training, I have developed an intimate understanding and compassion for those suffering with dementia. Dementia comes with many challenges and is ever changing. Loved ones are often left with fear and uncertainty. By establishing close relationships with my clients, I am able to build trust, anticipate needs, and adjust care plans as changes occur.

​

Although dementia follows a typical progressive pattern, each individual is unique. I specialize in supporting caregivers through cognitive assessments, establishing effective communication techniques, and managing behavioral expressions. Person centered care is at the heart of my practice, I prioritize promoting independence, preserving dignity, and finding joy in each day. Along with respite care and assistance with daily activities, I accompany clients to medical appointments and connect families with community resources such as home health services, transportation, meal delivery, elder care planning, and more. 

 

By utilizing my services as a dementia care navigator and healthcare advocate, you will receive guidance on healthcare options, emotional support through difficult decisions, and help locating appropriate placement or relocation services when needed. My commitment to staying up to date on best practices and continuing education ensures you will receive the highest level of care for your loved one. I bring with me a genuine love and respect for humanity, a positive and energetic approach, with patience and compassion every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation, I look forward to serving you because my ultimate goal is to help you reach yours.
