Finding the Light in Dementia Care.

When it feels like dementia has put the fire out, we reignite the flame.

Our Approach

Our approach is unique, but we believe that there are positive, alternative ways to approach dementia care that really work.

Reiki, aromatherapy, meditation, and music are known to be uplifting, calming, and beneficial for everyone – so too for those with dementia.

We’ve experienced that when people with dementia are in a calmer state, it opens the door to connect with them in a new and meaningful way.

We’re Here to Empower

We want to give you the tools that you can use to reignite the connection to the people in your life who have dementia. We want you to be able to focus on having a relationship with that person – even if it looks a little different than the one you had with them before.

It’s Not Just Our Job, It’s Our Passion and Mission

This work comes deep from our core – from personal experiences with our own family members and loved ones, as well as in our professional lives in the elder care industry. We believe that we can improve the quality of life of many people living with dementia, as well as the lives of those who care for them.

Care for the Caregiver

We believe that it’s equally important for the caregiver, whether a family member or professional in a senior living environment, to practice self-care. One cannot take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first. The methods we use with your loved one, apply to you, too.

Testimonials

  • “My head was always spinning. The stress, overwhelming. My brother and I were paralyzed, not knowing what to do first to help my parents who both have dementia. We needed help but didn't know where to go for it. When I learned about Ember’s services and met with Shari and Katie, almost immediately I felt lighter, happier, and relieved. My brother and I had direction and guidance, and since then we have been better equipped to help our parents. We can now just be with them and not so hurried. We have something now we didn't previously have; peace. Ember gave us a gift.”

    Suzanne H., Caregiver

  • "Working with Ember Holistic Care LLC has relieved a lot of the working parts of a business opportunity that I was not familiar with. Hiring Ember Holistic to consult us has been such a breath of fresh air as it allowed us to focus on scaling and growing our business. Katie and Shari were able to offer valuable advice in staff retention to Dementia education guidelines to new innovative approaches Ember takes in Dementia care -that are valuable for a startup home care agency. Working with Katie and Shari set the standard for us and our company on day one and let us know that they are interested in the client care first and the business after. I thank you Katie and Shari. We wouldn’t have the valuable information necessary to enter into this business endeavor and look forward to working together further in the future."

  • "I have had the pleasure of getting to know Katie and Shari from Ember Holistic Care LLC on a personal and professional level. Katie and Shari went above and beyond aiding and advocating for our elderly parents, both of whom suffer from dementia. Their guidance and expertise were a godsend to our family during a very difficult time, transitioning our parents with in-home care and finding an assisted living memory care facility. As an estate planning attorney, I’ve referred clients to Ember Holistic Care LLC with nothing but positive feedback. I’m fortunate to have them as a resource. "

  • Shari and Katie are extremely knowledgeable about dementia disease progression. Both were helpful to me and my family members while we adjusted to the ups and downs of visiting our mother, who had advanced-stage dementia. I highly recommend leveraging their knowledge and connections in the assisted living/memory care business.

    Emily R., Caregiver

  • "Ember met my mother and I where we were at in this rollercoaster ride of dementia diagnosis, Katie met with my mother, addressing her behaviors in a professional and compassionate way. Ember was able to help me cope with where I was at in my own grieving process and support not only my mother, but me. They helped with transition and follow up for a respite stay in an ALF community, making positive outcomes for my mom's respite there and then back home. Highly recommend this group to assist with all your needs when dealing with a loved one with a dementia diagnosis."

    Cindy F., Caregiver

  • "Having one parent with dementia is challenging; having two is incredibly overwhelming. My brother and I were at our wit's end. We were stressed, not sleeping, and I was crying without warning. It was just an extremely stressful and emotional time. Shari and Katie stepped in to help my brother and me so we could better assist our parents. They helped with medication management and hygiene management, found in-home personal and agency care, and so much more. A couple of months later, when we had only a few days to find a memory care assisted living community for both parents, Shari made a call, and, boom, our parents were all set. Without their experience and understanding of dementia and thoughtful and caring approach (Shari and Katie are still the only people able to get my mom to shower without a fight), I would have had a breakdown. They are very kind and patient with the person(s) suffering with dementia and the caregivers. Honestly, they are angels."

    Mary C., Caregiver

  • "Katie and Shari are remarkable!! I had the pleasure of working for them both and also have become great friends with them! Their holistic approach with people with Alzheimers and Dementia with reiki and meditation is remarkable, one minute a resident will be upset and aggressive and they sit with them and start a meditation and reiki and the room is quiet and calm they are great and would highly recommend them!!"
