Transitions can cause stress and anxiety for many of us, whether it is a move, participating in a new activity or being in an unfamiliar environment. People living with dementia process transitions in a unique way. Stress or anxiety can manifest in problematic behaviors such as verbal or physical outbursts, refusal, or anger. Together we will help equip you to facilitate successful transition s for your residents and patients.

Speakers

Jacqueline Boyd
Founder of The Care Plan
http://the-care-plan.com/
The Care Plan is the brainchild of Jacqueline Boyd, a long time aging specialist and LGBTQI advocate. Jacqueline’s passion for health and aging started when she was a Certified Nursing Assistant in college. Working in nursing homes gave her a deep appreciation for the struggles many face throughout the aging process. The swift physical and cognitive changes, the lack of clear resources and advice left many families in the dark about how to best support their loved ones, and at times guilty for the choices they had made. It was here that seeds for The Care Plan were planted, in an empathy for the pain and uncertainty many clients and their families experienced.

Jacqueline spent much of her professional career providing care management services in her 9 years with a private duty caregiving agency. Providing guidance and advocacy for people in need illuminated time and again the need for earlier interventions and planning. She saw how a comprehensive approach can avoid common crisis along the path to aging, yet no real solution existed.

The Care Plan
In her life outside of work, Jackie has been a strong and consistent presence within Chicago’s LGBTQI community, from serving on the Chances Dances organizing board and the Critical Fierceness Grant Board (granting funds to Chicago-based artists who identify as queer) to serving as the Praise and Worship Leader for Broadway United Methodist Church located in Lakeview, a reconciling and welcoming church community; and co-founding Project Fierce Chicago in January of 2013, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing housing for LGBTQI-identified youth who experience homelessness.

Research in the past few years has confirmed what many already know: LGBTQI persons are at risk for falling through the cracks in healthcare due to experiences of being discriminated against, receiving sub-standard services, or outright denied healthcare based on gender or sexual orientation. With a passion for the well-being of the LGBTQI community and experience in health and aging, Jacqueline established The Care Plan, LLC in August of 2015. She has served over 10,000 seniors and their families in her lifetime. As an active member of the LGBTQI community she is aware of the health and aging needs specific to sexual orientation and committed to making a difference in their lives.

The Care Plan was established to provide the expert advice and guidance necessary to successfully navigate the challenges of health and aging. We are dedicated to helping you plan today and map your future, all on your terms.
