MEET OUR FOUNDER
Teresa Youngstrom
Teresa is a Seasoned Registered Nurse with more than 38 years of clinical and leadership experience. She believed she understood Dementia well enough to care for her own mother. Unfortunately, this assumption resulted in Teresa being kicked out of her Mom’s @#$%! house! Teresa left in tears but was determined to learn why that happened and how to join her Mom on her journey with Dementia. Now she shares her wealth of knowledge and personal experience everywhere she goes with a kind and compassionate message that can help you too!
