Alzheimer s patients are special to caregiver
Alzheimer s Association
Long-term care is no stranger to Janie Harper. Harper is Executive Director of Redstone Park Retirement and Assisted Living in Brownwood. She also serves as volunteer facilitator of the Brownwood Alzheimer’s Association Support Group. Harper has been working with the Alzheimer’s Association since 2007.
“I grew up around all my great aunts, married my high school sweetheart and then got into the long term care business, working in nursing homes in multiple departments before becoming the regional ombudsman, or resident advocate, for 19 counties in the Abilene area,” Harper said.
For Harper, Alzheimer’s and dementias were something personal. “My mother had a form of dementia and I’ve been involved in long term care since 1993,” Harper said. “It seems like I’ve always been around people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia, and they’re special to me.”
