With nearly two decades of experience in dementia care, we focus on helping people stay independent, engaged, and purposeful. Whether it’s through meaningful activities or small daily routines, we aim to bring joy and dignity into every stage of the journey—strengthening the bond between you and your loved one along the way.

Absolutely! Think of us as your care compass. We help you navigate the maze of dementia-related challenges—medical, financial, legal, and emotional. From Medicaid to VA benefits to local programs you may not even know exist, we help you unlock support systems that can ease your burden and protect your resources. Our care plans grow and adapt right alongside your loved one’s needs.

Caregiving can be isolating—but you don’t have to do it alone. DCN creates a bridge between families, healthcare professionals, and support networks.

Our DCN program is led by Mary Caldwell, a compassionate gerontologist with a Master’s in Aging Studies and a background in social work. She’s worked with two Area Agencies on Aging and the Alzheimer’s Association—so she brings real-world knowledge, heart, and dedication to every family. Alongside a team of experienced nurses and dementia care pros, she ensures you get ethical, expert, and affordable support.

Yes, and it’s a great idea to start early. Dementia is a broad term, and getting the right diagnosis—whether it’s Alzheimer’s, Vascular Dementia, or something else—is crucial. We’ll guide you through the process and connect you with trusted neurologists so you get answers and a clear path forward.

Life doesn’t always wait for a plan—and we get that. If you’re facing a sudden challenge or unexpected behavior change, we’re here to help. Our team can step in with calm, experienced support when you need it most—helping you navigate difficult moments with confidence and care.
At Skylark, we believe no one should face dementia alone. Whether you’re just starting to notice changes or are deep into the caregiving journey, we’re here to walk beside you every step of the way.
