Bio:
My name is Paige Neumeyer. I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in dementia care consultation. I recently started my own business, Aging Mind Care to help support those living with dementia and their caregivers.
I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospice, Social Services Director in a Skilled Nursing/Long-term Term Care Community, and as an Aging Life Care Manager and Counselor in senior care communities. Working in these settings, I began to see the impact of aging, particularly cognitive changes, and how this can greatly impact everyday life, not only for the individual but also for their loved ones caring for them.
I had a desire to learn more about dementia and how to provide effective care in an effort to improve the quality of life for all involved. I became certified as a dementia care Consultant and Trainer under Teepa Snow, national educator and founder of Positive Approach to Care. I am also a Certified Dementia Practitioner through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners. I currently volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association as a Community Educator and also lead a monthly support group, called Common Ground through Care Partners Houston.

He worked in different settings, mostly retail, for 7 years after he became a pharmacist before he decided to start over and embark on a life-changing journey. After hitting his 'threshold' of suffering, fueled by debilitating anxiety dependent on medications for a decade and 18 years of drinking & smoking every day; in 2018 he jumped into the unknown and went all-in on a self-healing & self-awakening journey (he had no idea what he was getting himself into). He knew there had to be more to life, that there had to be answers, and that he'd probably keel over & die if he kept living the way he was; numb & consumed by anxiety. Initially, it was all about healing himself and removing the majority of his suffering; it quickly turned into his passion and life's mission to figure out how to truly help others at the highest level; to help others help themselves. Colton is now determined to bring real, personalized care & service back into healthcare (where it is sadly & sorely missing). In perfect alignment with the owner of Kaduceus Pharmacy, as the pharmacist-in-charge, he is focused on providing an unmatched pharmacy service to all patients as well as facilities; while also helping anyone who wants help with everything they need to get healthy and remove themselves from dependence; from increasing & maintaining independence, to simple lifestyle coaching, to deep transformational coaching; with all he's learned via free advice, coaching, tools, recommendations, advocating for others, and helping people advocate for themselves._____________________________________________________________________Contact Kim Hegwood ā Elder Law AttorneyWebsite: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YourLegacyLe...LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/your...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourlegacyl...FREE Books on Dementia Care: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com/booksā”ļø Take our 5-minute āTrust the Futureā quiz to discover if your independence, wealth, and legacy are truly guaranteed: https://your-legacy-legal-care.involv... ā¬ ļøYour Legacy Legal Careā¢1150 Clear Lake City Blvd., Suite 100, Houston, TX 77062(281) 218-0880 #medicationdependency #holistichealth #seniorcare
