Staff Members

We have a small staff here at Memory Matters, but we all have large hearts and the will to help this community. We are all truly devoted and skilled to serve those whose lives have been affected by memory loss. Each staff member, though assigned to different aspects of the organization, works together to ensure we meet the needs of our community.
The members of the Memory Matters Program Team are certified in Montessori Dementia Care and have completed training and obtained certification from the Alzheimer’s Association. Our training programs are meticulously designed based on the Dementia Care Practice Recommendations, incorporating evidence-based, person-centered practices. These practices equip us to offer superior care for individuals with dementia. Moreover, Memory Matters is the sole certified organization in South Carolina authorized to instruct the Savvy Caregiver program. Our team has also achieved MOCA certification and is proficient in conducting assessments.
