A New Way!

What if Interacting with People Who are Living with Dementia and Caring for Family Members Inspires Others to Feel there is Help and Hope?
Imagine What a Gift You Will Be Giving as People are Inspired to Live Well with a Diagnosis and Care for Loved Ones with more Ease.
Hi! We are Nancy Nelson(dangle), a person living well with a dementia diagnosis for over 11 years and Kat Hartley (dot), a lifetime family care partner and brain health professional. We share our combined wisdom, humor and creative insights to inspire worldwide audiences to transform the fear of a dementia diagnosis to an opportunity to “LIVE. WORK. PLAY. A NEW Way!
We feel we can change the negative image and stigma with our unique brand of dementia edutainment.
By sharing personal stories, resources and interactive techniques, we can help reframe the fear of dementia into a personal challenge that is transformative one.
In our “Pink Chair Chit Chats”… (yes! we bring our own director’s chairs in a fun shade of piggy pink) …we deliver inspired insights, humor and optimism on a difficult subject. We demonstrate creative ways to become the director of your own experience.
Our approach is unique as it combines the perspective of both a person living well with dementia and a lifetime family caregiver. We call this a “care pair”.
We offer in-person and online presentations to older adult audiences, healthcare students and dementia care industry professionals.
