Let’s start with our expertise.

Let me introduce myself, My name is Kris Cosgrove, I have been working in the healthcare field with the senior population serving those who have been diagnosed with Dementia for the past 10+ years and have strived to change the way old age and dementia is perceived by society. I have worked in private in-home care and consulting as well as, in both skilled nursing homes and assisted living communities. My roles have been Director of Memory Care and Certified Therapeutic Recreation Director. In these roles, I have taught Dementia care education to staff and have educated caregivers and families of those living with Dementia.

This is something very near and dear to my heart. I lost my own Father in 2006 due to Dementia. I have made a point to stay on top of my Dementia education and have many credentials through both the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners as well as The Alzheimer’s Organization. I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Director, Fit Minds – Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Coach, Gerontology- Aging Well Specialist, Alzheimer’s Certified Dementia Care Manager, Certified Montessori Care Professional, Early Onset Dementia Facilitator, and GAP Facilitator. In addition to taking numerous classes and seminars throughout the years provided by the Alzheimer’s Organization, ECHO, Leading Age, and Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care.

I graduated What high honors in gerontology in May 2022 I also received the excellence in sociology award

We offer expertise regarding:

• Health and disability: Through assessments and experience, we can help you understand what your loved one does well, and in what areas he or she could use additional help.
• Finances: A review of the current monetary situation will result in a plan to make resources stretch as efficiently as possibly while maintaining the desired level of comfort, dignity and safety.
• Housing: Based on the assessments, recommendations can be made for optimal living situations now, with a view to likely changes in the foreseeable future.
• Family: Sibling disagreements and old family history often make the aging journey difficult. Our training provides for skilled facilitation of family meetings and creation of a plan that takes everyone’s needs into account.
• Local Resources: There are programs available to help, but it’s difficult to know which one is the most appropriate for your situation. Save time and money by letting us objectively evaluate the situation and connect you to the resources best suited to your needs.
• Advocacy: Our comprehensive knowledge of the disjointed health care system allows us to monitor quality and lobby for the care and treatment your family wants.
• Legal: Let us help you identify issues and get key paperwork in order.
• Crisis Intervention: The unexpected is simply a fact of life in aging. We are experienced with elder emergencies and are ready to jump in at a moment’s notice.
