Thank you Hailey Loeffelholz, Dementia Care Specialist from the Aging and Disability Resource Center!

We’re proud to have partnered with the Grant County ADRC to support our staff at Unified! This week Hailey Loeffelholz, Dementia Care Specialist, provided Unified Community Services staff with empowering information and resources on how to be knowledgeable and effective care partners to those they serve outside of their professional commitment to Unified.

When our staff have the resources they need to thrive in both their private and professional lives, we all benefit. Life isn’t easy, but it builds confidence and cohesion when we know we’re not alone in our challenges. We’re proud to be an employer that takes seriously our staff’s challenges and invests in their wellness.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center is a phenomenal community resource! Learn more at the links below.
