About Nakeya

For over five years, my professional life has been deeply intertwined with the lives of individuals navigating the complexities of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. This experience has not only equipped me with practical skills but has also fostered a profound sense of empathy and understanding for the unique challenges faced by both patients and their families. My journey began with a foundational understanding of the cognitive decline associated with these conditions. Over time, I've developed a nuanced approach to care, recognizing that each individual experiences Alzheimer's and dementia differently. I've learned to adapt my communication style, employing patience, clear language, and non-verbal cues to effectively connect with residents, even when verbal communication becomes difficult.
