Welcome!


We have a lot of new friends joining us here so we figured it's a perfect time to highlight who we are and what we do. 


Hi, I'm Sheri! Owner of Dementia Care Solutions and I am excited that you are joining us on this journey. Whether you are a professional care partner or a family/friend/loved one, we hope you will find our monthly newsletter informative!


Each month we highlight upcoming events that we put on, as well as some community events that are related to brain health. We will also dive into different tips and strategies to help you on your caregiving journey.

~ Sheri Fairman,

Owner of Dementia Care Solutions

Needing extra support is normal when working through the day to day care of a person with dementia. Whether you need extra tips, suggestions, ideas or a knowledgeable ear to be there for you, the Dementia Care Solutions Consultant is here. 


Services we offer:

  • Consulting & Support

Looking to learn skills and manage challenges through continued support as you gain comfort and competence?

  • Coaching

Coaching is an opportunity to receive support with dementia related situations. Coaching can be held in small groups and one on one in real time with the person living with dementia. 

  • Community Presentations

Caring for someone living with Dementia takes a village. Friends, family, and care professionals are all able to learn more about the disease and how to understand and help navigate it. If you have a social group or organization you feel would benefit from learning more, contact me today.

  • Training

The Dementia Care Solutions Consultant offers interactive workshops for staff, care partners and the general public and can be tailored to meet your needs in content and length. Caring for a person with dementia is a unique skill and it takes time to develop competency.
