In fulfilling our mission and advancing the legacy, we warmly invite you to come to the table. Welcome  PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY A mediator is viewed as a servant of the parties. The parties control the solution to their dispute. Karen L. Rice, LNHA, Gerontologist Health, Family & Elder Mediator The mediator's job is to help the parties find a solution. In order for a solution to be found, agreed to and remain, parties must have first found procedural, emotional and substantive satisfaction with the mediated negotiations. All of my efforts are dedicated to such outcome. I specialize in Family Caregiver/Adult Guardianship Mediation. The Institute of Medicine states that quality medical care must include a patient-centered approach. They recommend healthcare be based on “continuous healing relationships, customization based on patient needs, patient values, and shared decision-making." This is the very core of my mediation practice. My aim is set on listening to understand then to focus on very careful construction of customized and continuous healing relationships based on mediated common needs, common values, common goals through shared decision-making. My approach makes you feel heard. citation: The Quality of Caring, Mayo Clin Proc. 2006;81:294-296 © 2006 Mayo Foundation.    shared decision-making  Be Pro-Active Call Share Learn Alzheimer Mediation For Dementia Conflict ...discretely attentive to your details Designed to move conflict into workable solutions  Nancy Mace, Author "The 36 Hour Day" "Quality of Life in Longterm Care" "Teaching Dementia Care: Skill and Understanding" "I am excited to see mediation available for caregivers." "I've been calling for mediation for this population since the 80's!" The predicted cases of Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia in the elderly, are expected to double every 20 years. Today, 26.6 million people worldwide suffer Alzheimer's. Scientists predict the numbers in the US will grow to 7.7 million by 2030 and 16 million by 2050. Approximately 50% will require nursing home care.  Use of photo is courtesy of TCSG.  Thank you for visiting our developing website today.
