Karen, I just wanted to write you as you were so kind to me when I was looking for help. You were one of the few people that was so sympathetic. I just wanted to thank you for being there for me. You are so appreciated by me.”

Caregiver email, August 2016

“Dear Karen — Thank you for all you do to help those of us who need guidance/help/comfort. When I see the new-comers in the group I feel very grateful/glad they found you — and I found you! You’ve been such a great support and guide.”

Caregiver from one of Karen’s support groups.

“Thank you very much for following up with us.  Since your visit – neither of the 2 Residents you assisted us with have wanted to leave the building .  You have provided us with some great information and tools for the staff to use when re-directing these Residents. The Solutions Reports were very helpful for the staff, the Doctor and the families to have.”

“Need an effective crash course on meeting the needs of a loved one with dementia?  Ask Karen Tyrell.

Dementia robs even high-functioning professionals of their independence, making it difficult for them to preserve their dignity.  When a friend called me for help, I needed some immediate information on how to secure the right services with the right degree of compassion, while keeping the person’s privacy intact and respecting the family’s boundaries. I asked Karen Tyrell.

Karen provided the framework I sought because she both listened and heard. She then formulated practical solutions that I could immediately implement on the friend’s behalf.

We cannot safely assist people with dementia issues by letting the dis-ease define them.  We need the input of someone who combines dedication with professional expertise.  For this, don’t hesitate to ask Karen Tyrell.

Read Karen’s book: Dementia Solutions.   With dementia on the rise, most of us will need its content for loved ones sooner or later.  For an eye-opener, consult Karen Tyrell—sooner rather than later.  You’ll be glad you did.”
