| Introduction | Welcome! I'm Ben, the owner of elumenEd and The Dementia Newsletter. After 20+ years as the Director of Training for a major group of retirement communities, I created these companies to provide professional-grade resources to home and family caregivers helping loved ones with dementia. I'm helping my own mother through her journey with Alzheimer's disease, too, and I'm learning right beside you. |
