Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a form of dementia?

Are you and your care partner feeling isolated, lost and unsure of the future?

Are you wanting to support and empower a friend or business associate living with dementia?

Embrace the Unembraceable

What if … knowing about dementia is a good thing?

What if … living life with dementia is a new opportunity for personal growth and a renewed chance to create loving, connected relationships with your family, friends and co-workers?

Imagine what a gift you will be giving to yourself and others as you learn more about dementia and are able to relate to, nurture and inspire people  to live well with dementia.

We, with our energetic enthusiasm, optimism and lifetime of experience, want to empower you to dare to do dementia different, and live life well, with purpose, for longer.

Why We Want to Help You…

We, co-founders Nancy Nelson and Kat Hartley, believe in the power of an embraced, supported dementia community and the growing statisitics and negative stigma of dementia makes this discussion a poignant one.

Inspired by a lifetime of lived experiences, we created dangle & dot to share our combined wisdom, knowledge and insight to empower you as an individual, friend or care partner team, to learn to embrace and skillfully navigate the challenges of dementia.

Meet dangle:

Nancy, shocked and teetering near fear by her diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s in 2013, immediately, in the early morning darkness, began writing down words and phrases coming to her from the sky.

Meet dot:

Kat, in every decade of her life, has ridden the paralyzing, emotional and financial rollercoaster of stress, fear and grief while losing seven relatives to Alzheimer’s Disease.

You're in the Right Place!

Here’s our hand, a tissue for tears,a heartfelt smile, and maybe even a laugh or two …together, let’s dare to live well with dementia.

Please Join Us!

Sign up for our (sometimes) monthly newsletter  & prepare to be inspired.

We will send you a playful discussion about ways to re-think dementia topics like receiving a diagnosis, driving and navigating relationships both from the persepective of someone living well with dementia (dangle) and a dementia care partner (dot).  Plus, we will share our favorite resources and tips, so YOU too, can continue to live life well. We want to hear from you!

Let's Dare to Do Dementia Different!

Yes! We intentionally chose to use “different” vs “differently” because we like to spark conversations and create questions!

As Nancy says, “Communication is key!” Let’s talk about dementia together.
