Eight of those years were spent in senior living including serving as a Memory Care Director in several senior living properties. My work has included becoming a Certified Dementia Practitioner, facilitating many support groups on Dementia or Cognitive challenges, working as a program director providing education on daily living challenges associated with Dementia, and providing resources and support to many families on their Dementia/Alzheimer's Journey. I am currently in my Master of Social Work Program and employed at Mesquite Psychotherapy and Consulting as their Office Manager.

My future professional goals include growing as a therapist to promote education and services to the mental health sector in healthcare to provide services to all older adults struggling with mental health disorders including symptoms associated with Dementia. I would also like to become a community educator and support group facilitator in rural counties surrounding Austin to support older adults and caregivers who are on a dementia journey. _________________________________________________________ Contact Kim Hegwood- Elder Law Attorney Website: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourlegacylegalcare/ Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/YourLegacyLegalCare LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourlegacylegalcare/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@yourlegacylegalcare Your Legacy Legal Care 1150 Clear Lake City Blvd., Suite 100 Houston, TX 77062 (281) 218-0880
