Why did you choose to work in dementia?
My dad and his words of wisdom: “Let your truth guide your path, and let the example of your life be its witness. For you shall grow mighty as an oak, and your strength shall be boundless. Where there is pain, you will bring healing; Where there is confusion, you will bring order; Where there is weakness, you shall bring strength; and where there is death, you shall bring life.” – Michael Eisenstein March 10, 1944 – April 23, 2021
