Who We Are
Where Education Meets Real-Life Preparation
Living With Change™ is an education and preparedness-focused organization dedicated to helping people living with dementia, along with the families and organizations that support them, prepare thoughtfully for the practical realities of life beyond medical care.
Our work centers on education and early preparation, not consulting or clinical guidance. We translate complex and often overwhelming information into structured guidance that helps people prepare for life-impacting decisions and conversations, supported by thoughtfully designed tools that can be used before meeting with attorneys, healthcare providers, financial advisors, and other professionals.
Living With Change complements medical care by focusing on the practical planning and coordination that extend beyond the clinical setting and into everyday life.
What We Believe
- We believe a diagnosis does not change who a person is, and that people living with dementia remain whole individuals whose lives, preferences, and voices continue to matter.
- We believe families and care professionals are better supported when essential information is clear, organized, and shared.
- We believe no one should navigate the practical responsibilities of dementia alone.
- We believe thoughtful systems and compassionate guidance make the realities of dementia easier to navigate at every stage.
