Gwendolyn has worked in dementia care for over three decades, both as a nurse educator and a Frontline practitioner. As a result of working with hundreds of family and professional care partners caring for persons with dementia, she understands the issues that are important to them. Gwendolyn admires and respects the joys and sorrows that these individuals have endured as they navigate the dementia journey.

Today, Gwendolyn’s passion revolves around enhancing quality of life for persons with dementia, creating dementia inclusive communities, and focussing on the person centred care and not the disease. She has discovered that one of the very best strategies is to keep the person connected with the things they love doing.
