Transforming Thoughts
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
Meet Our Dementia Influencers
That Significant Moment
That significant moment – that moment which quietly resonated with the lifestyle choices made during our interlude at the ranch. That moment which reaffirmed a desire to be together – and continue on. That moment of encounter with a simple idea – in an article, a book, a recording, a teleconference, a phone conversation. That moment which was consciousness-altering. That moment which, quite simply, rocked!
This page is dedicated to those professionals whose body of work resonated with our experience at the ranch. Each is listed successively in the order in which their work came into my awareness during the course of our being together.
Based on the contribution to culture change of these professionals, it is my hope that the lifework of each one may inspire others when most needed. We are all indebted to them for their leadership in transforming the culture of dementia care.
