Hello,

I’m Allison

I’ve been an occupational therapist for six years, and have spent all of those years working in skilled nursing. This community is a space where we collaborate and share all things dementia care, skilled nursing, adult rehabilitation, and long-term care. I’m so glad you’re here.
