How the Collaborative Came to be
When my mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s and declining physical health, our family was faced with the very difficult reality that she was no longer able to provide for her personal needs as the result of a mental impairment. Her doctors recommended an assisted living facility; it’s hard to describe the emotional state I was in as I prepared to arrange for my mother’s care and protection in a long term care setting.
When the routine activity of ordinary brushing and flossing of teeth became increasingly difficult for my mother, I was there to assist and encourage her caregivers to supervise. As a dentist, I know how important it is for my patients to maintain good oral health throughout life.
I was in a position to help not just my mother but also so many more…..
