Welcome!
My name is Suzanne. I am a qualified dementia caregiver, mental health assistant, and healthcare professional (nurse and medical assistant) with over 12 years of experience in various fields of elderly care. My journey has led me through residential care homes, home care services, and community support systems. Having worked day and night shifts, as well as providing live-in care, I have experienced every face of dementia firsthand.
If you’d like to know why I’m dedicated to supporting families living with dementia, and more about my 12-year journey in this field, please feel free to read my full introduction.
I believe that supporting caregivers is just as important as caring for the patients themselves. If you are here, you are likely doing everything you can for your loved one. I am here to make sure you don’t have to do it alone, providing someone who can help with clarity, honesty, and practicality.
Love alone isn’t enough.
