Lynn Sullivan
Director,
New Milford Senior Center, NJ
"Maureen Braen, of RISE Dementia Care, presented a great “Brain Healthy Living” event for our seniors. Maureen’s passion and knowledge shine through and make a sometimes difficult subject easy and engaging. The interactive seminar was suitable for all ages, and we learned new information about this valuable topic. Maureen brings a fresh and refreshing approach to the subject, with new ways to train our brain in a fun session! Highly recommended for any senior center, senior living facility, or community education."

"I actually thanked administration for this in-service. I learned so much. Helped me understand our residents and provided me the ability to improve myself and my job performance to what our residents need, not only with dementia, but all residents."

Family Member
"Maureen at Rise Dementia provided invaluable information about dementia to my siblings and me regarding dementia. She explained how it is from the patient’s perspective rather than from a clinical standpoint in a caring and easy to understand way. While she is extremely knowledgeable and professional, her greatest asset is how patient and compassionate she is. Maureen’s clear communication makes navigating this ever changing time in our lives easier than it would be without her. Truly an asset to the dementia care community."
"Maureen has many practical ideas to solve problems. She had many "quotable quotes" too which I often think about and find myself having a better perspective when caring for my mom."

"Maureen provided a fantastic and eye opening experience into the lives of those living with dementia. I feel more knowledgeable and better equipped after her sessions, not only for work, but in life outside of work as well."
