At Caregiver's Lighthouse, you'll meet Wendi Calloway, M.Ed., CCC-SLP—a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience, including a decade specializing in dementia care. As both a professional and a former dementia caregiver, Wendi understands the daily struggles caregivers face. Her expertise and personal experience allow her to offer guidance, support, and practical strategies to help you care for your loved one-while also taking care of yourself.
The Story Behind Caregiver’s Lighthouse
After conducting countless Home Health Memory Care Assessments to determine a patient's dementia stage or level, Wendi recognized a profound need to educate caregivers on dementia staging and provide them with the support necessary to navigate the complexities of dementia care. The most pressing concerns often included behavioral management, communication challenges, medication oversight, and home safety.
She witnessed the immense relief caregivers felt when they finally understood what their loved one was experiencing-why their actions and expressions had changed. Seeing that moment of clarity and reassurance in the eyes of a caregiver became the driving force behind Caregiver's Lighthouse; a guiding light for those facing the challenges of dementia.
