Momma’s Hands
How We Got Started
Founder and Executive Director, Susan Bill has personal experience with a family member’s dementia and is also a Certified Dementia Practitioner and Geriatric Care Manager. Her professional background, along with a loving nudge from God, was the catalyst to forming this faith-based care program. In fact, it was her faith and the belief in this mission that compelled Susan to resign from her respected career in October 2018 in order to commit all of her energy to the Program’s success.
Our Mission
To partner with caregivers of loved ones living with Alzheimer’s and other kinds of dementia by providing a holistic care model delivering vital resources, support, and services to improve their quality of life.
