About our Speaker
Debbie Selsavage
Bio for Debbie Selsavage: President and CEO
Coping with Dementia, LLC
One in nine Americans over 65 has Alzheimer's Disease. It is the sixth leading cause of death in America, and if no major breakthrough is achieved, by 2050 more than 16 million Americans will have the disease.
But people living with Dementia are not statistics. They are living human beings of value who deserve dignity, compassion, and the highest standard of care available.
We are dedicated to developing, teaching, deploying, and maintaining that standard by promoting person-centered compassionate care based on the techniques and principles of Positive Approach to Care™.
Simply stated, our Mission is to Make Life better for individuals and families living with Dementia.
Debbie Selsavage was introduced to dementia when she became a caregiver for her husband. Like many in her situation, she found it almost impossible to find information, support, and the resources to deal with her difficult and exhausting task.
She believed there has to be a better way.
Debbie entered the field of memory care when she took a job as an administrative assistant at an assisted living facility. She loved the work and within 18 months became a certified administrator, leading her own community to a Deficiency-Free rating.
She became a Certified Trainer in Teepa Snow’s highly respected Positive Approach to Care and in 2015 launched her own company, Coping with Dementia LLC.
It’s mission is to make life better for individuals and families living with dementia.
Debbie pursues this mission through knowledge, training, education, and an unwavering belief in the effectiveness of Person-Centered Compassionate Care. As a Certified Dementia Practitioner with an extensive knowledge of dementia, she focuses more on the person than on the disease.
