Bridget McShane of Northern Lakes Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Tabi Suman of Heart to Heart Hospice, and Chad Schiebel of Hamilton Home Care are with WLKI 's Andy St. John.
These local experts have teamed up to form a new Dementia Support Group in Steuben County. Designed as a safe, welcoming space for caregivers and loved ones, the group meets monthly to offer encouragement, validate feelings, and provide essential resources for those navigating the often-overwhelming journey of dementia care.
Our guests discuss the vital services their organizations provide to the community, including:
- Northern Lakes Nursing and Rehabilitation: Bridget outlines their secured memory care unit, staff training, and flexible adult daycare services.
- Heart to Heart Hospice: Tabby explains the comprehensive care team model, the reality behind hospice benefits, and how they support both the patient and the family.
- Hamilton Home Care: Chad details their range of services--from companion care and mobility assistance to end-of-life support--with flexible scheduling to meet individual needs.
Whether youre seeking advice, a supportive community, or professional resources, this conversation highlights the importance of knowing that you do not have to walk this path alone.
The Dementia Support Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 4:00 p.m. at Northern Lakes Nursing and Rehabilitation on Williams Street in Angola.
