In this episode of Get Savvy…Demystifying Healthcare, Sandy talks with licensed clinical social worker and Compassion Works founder Kay Adams, who brings more than 30 years of experience in geriatrics, hospice, palliative care, dementia, and caregiver support.

Kay Adams, LCSW is a speaker, coach, educator, and author. In addition, Kay is a Certified Dementia Consultant and Trainer, and the founder of Compassion Works, LLC which provides individualized dementia coaching, workshops, and educational offerings to families, professional care partners and organizations on a variety of topics related to dementia.

Dementia is disruptive, incredibly so. You can’t get help for what you don’t understand, so this path requires gathering information, pushing for an accurate diagnosis, educating yourself and those around you, and finding new approaches for everyone involved.
