Kassandra King's involvement with the geriatric population began in
her early teen years as a volunteer with The Holiday Project and with her
high school choir. She has always enjoyed the company and wisdom of her
elders in long-term care settings and has a natural ability to relate to those
with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. She holds a bachelor's
degree from the University of North Texas and post graduate certification
in long-term care from Texas State University. She began her professional
tour of duty as a licensed administrator in 1996, gaining vast experience at
several large facilities in Texas and California.
Holding the torch for education and awareness, Ms. King has served at
two chapters of the Alzheimer's Association in the capacity of Public Policy
Director and Professional Education Manager. Her inspiration to write this
book came about from her work as a Program Manager of Engagement at one
of the largest memory care communities in California. She is the owner of
Alzheimer's Connection La Mesa, where she is happily occupied as a care
consultant, care manager, and dementia care educator.
Ms. King is the mother of two extraordinary young men who have
spent many hours waiting for her to finish making rounds, and who read to
residents, entertained them by playing guitar, and joined in Christmas Eve
caroling. She is currently the San Diego East County Locality coordinator
for The Holiday Project.ver menos
