Care Right is a virtual, nationwide consultancy serving families across the US in developing customized Aging Plans. Adult children find themselves thrust into the role of family caregiving and in time, realize their aging loved oneās needs and safety are beyond what the family can provide. Annalee/Care Right facilitates family meetings, educates families about aging, dementia progression, preventing caregiver burnout, care options, how to pay for care, choosing care communities, how to navigate the complex healthcare system, how to be a bold advocate, and helps improve family relationships and communication.Prior, she worked as a social worker, marketing director, and executive director in long-term care communities for 18 years and saw a need for families to start discussing the āwhat whenāsā of aging sooner rather than later. Her goal is to reach families proactively---when they first start seeing the writing on the wall that things may not be going well with their aging parents (falls, ER visits, weight loss, dementia progression, spousal caregiver burnout) but unfortunately, 92% of families come to Care Right in crisis mode.Annalee is also working with two international Accreditation firms to create an academy, (ASCAāAging Strategist Coaching Academy) allowing her robust Aging Strategist training program to be accredited and certify the coaches who go through the academy. Annaleeās book, The Invisible Patient: the emotional, financial, and physical toll on family caregivers is available on Amazon.

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.
