Kay is passionate about supporting people living with dementia, as well as the families, caregivers, and communities entrusted with their care. Kay’s extensive background as a medical social worker in geriatrics, hospice, palliative care, and mental health has given her a unique perspective as a “bedside witness” to the plethora of needs that families contend with when caring for a friend or loved one who is facing a life-threatening illness or dementia.
