She is the author of "Cracking the Dementia Code - Creative Solutions to Cope with Changed Behaviours" (published in 2013). She is also the co-creator of the "Dementia Caregiver Solutions" iOS App (released in 2015) which has helped hundreds of caregivers to better care for individuals exhibiting common dementia behaviours. Drawing on her 20+ years of experience providing therapeutic recreational activities to seniors with a range of cognitive abilities as well as supporting family and professional caregivers, Karen saw a need for a modernized engagement tool that would help enrich interaction during visits with older adults. As the CEO of Personalized Dementia Solutions Inc., Karen shares her expertise through speaking engagements and dementia workshops for both families and front-line staff. She also facilitates family caregiver support groups and works one-on-one with caregivers to provide emotional support and practical creative non-pharmacological solutions to help alleviate everyday challenges associated with dementia. With over 7 years of post-secondary education in the field of Gerontology as well as over 20 years of front-line experience, Karen has acquired deep practical skills and well-rounded knowledge which have enabled her to successfully support her clients. When not sharing her expertise through speaking engagements and workshops, she can be found facilitating monthly support groups for family caregivers.
