Hi, I'm Carrie Aalberts, also known as Dementia Darling. With a Master of Science focused in Gerontology and over a decade of experience in dementia care, I'm dedicated to improving the lives of those impacted by dementia.
​
My journey began when my grandmother was diagnosed, and my father became her caregiver. This experience planted the seed for my passion of supporting caregivers and the dementia community.
​
As Dementia Darling, I've nurtured a safe space for dementia caregivers online with over 50k followers and counting! I provide education, resources, and encouragement for caregivers. My goal is to enhance quality of life, encourage joy, and challenge the tragedy narrative around dementia and aging!
​
I offer education, consulting, product reviews, collaborations, and event support. Together, we can shape a brighter future for caregivers and those they serve.
Let's connect on social platforms: @dementiadarling on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
