Splaine Consulting

The story is simple. We are consultants in Alzheimer’s and related dementia, with have broad and deep experience in the community. Two years ago we started focusing on persons with dementia who live alone—estimated to be over 1.2 million people just in the US—by conducting summits around the country and learning as much and as quickly as possible from the persons living alone.

We learned it is not all a tragedy narrative, though there is plenty of crisis and difficulty. Just living in a single person household does not disconnect you from community, managing your own life, having friends, enjoying family, and participating in the economic and social life of the community. We have learned of the assumptions we make about the disability of persons with dementia which at least lessens them and at worst forms a basis for taking away their rights to self-determination.
