About Pam Ostrowski, the Author of It’s Not That Simple
I’m Pam Ostrowski. I felt called to write It’s Not That Simple: Helping Families Navigate the Alzheimer’s Journey after my 14-year dementia and Alzheimer’s journey with my parents. If this is your first journey with dementia and Alzheimer’s, you want a guide who has walked in your shoes and invested in understanding senior healthcare and dementia in all aspects. That’s why I became a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®, a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP®), and Certified in Dementia Care® (CDC®).

The Facts about Dementia and Alzheimer’s
1 out of 9 people over the age of 65 are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It’s not like any other disease. It stops a person from being able to function and perform activities of daily living, requiring 24/7 “eyes on” care.
Many seniors want to prepare for their future so their children don’t feel burdened with difficult decisions. This is especially true when children live elsewhere or don’t get along. Indecision can be your enemy when it comes to making care choices.
It’s vital to your well-being and quality of life to have an objective and experienced expert who has lived the journey help you and your family members navigate the waters around preparation for dementia-related disease.
