About Marilyn

With a background in counseling/psychology and dealing with people in all kind of situations it was not a big jump to get into home health and dementia. I took care of my husband who had dementia for 8 years. I also was in a support group during this time and many of the things I learned are still with me. I am a people person and enjoy meeting new people. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with dementia and I am helping her find resources. I have also started a grief support group for spouses of dementia.
