Vista Listens was formed with Ruth Dennis after 25 years of hands on experience working with elders and families coping with the impact of Dementia. Ruth has spent over 50,000 hours working directly with Elders & Families. She has a unique perspective & understanding of all thing’s dementia along with an education in the arts, and therapy and a caregiver of her brother Morgan for over 20 years. Ruth truly is amazing. Her decades of experience give her expertise in helping elders living with dementia and families to navigate the same. She is a national treasure in the world of dementia, loss and grief that care deeply for other.
Working with families & elders directly for 25 years, in a real live environment, I have seen a lot. I have a lot of experience in all types and stages of dementia I love working with elders directly and helping spouses connect given the changes. I know "the system" and enjoy helping spouses and families cope through the journey.
I care deeply for people and empathize with the difficulty of family caregiving. If you are feeling lost, not knowing what to do or where to turn, I encourage you to reach out to me. Our experience and approach with dementia has ad always will be different and I'd love the opportunity to share our perspective.
