A general powerpoint used to explain the mission of Family Promise and the 5 programs that make up the organization - Interfaith Hospitality Network, Family Mentoring, Just Neighbors, Community Initiatives and Voices Uniting - which enable it to help homeless families nationwide.
Kym’s expertise and thirst for maximizing love and respect for older adults while striving to improve their daily living has been all-consuming and her mission for over 10 years. This passion has been validated daily by seeing all those beautiful aging adults living happy, healthy lives to their fullest in their chosen environment.
Her knowledge and creativity has made her one of the most respected marketing professionals in the area of Senior Care in Los Angeles. With sustained occupancy of at least 94% between two established assisted living communities and a flagship Medicare only skilled nursing facility, Kym has proven herself a top producer. Cultivating new partnerships and realigning inactive or low-producing community resources has increased healthcare referrals by 58% excluding placement agencies.
When she’s not busy with her career, she enjoys her community involvement as a board member for the Greater Los Angeles Parkinson’s Disease Association, where she helped raise $326K. She averaged 45% growth annually in walkathon fund-raising as event chair since 2008. At home, you can find Kym volunteering at the local senior center or submerging herself in her church callings.
Kym has spent the last 6 years commuting in to the Beverly Hills and Hancock Park areas daily from her home in Simi Valley where she lives with her 20-year-old daughter. The 101 Freeway has won the ongoing challenge; she now spends most of her time assisting the elderly in the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County. Football, cooking and entertaining remain some of Kym’s favorite pastimes as well as jaunts to the beach in her convertible.
Consistent with her commitment to preserve the independence of older adults for as long as possible, she has helped hundreds of seniors and their families find a home where they could live out their lives with dignity and respect while building key healthcare partnerships throughout Los Angeles.

How do I access general information
about dementia?
We find that many people are simply seeking information. They want
to know what dementia is, how it progresses and what they can do
about it.
General dementia information is available through a wide variety of
help sheets available from our website: www.fightdementia.org.au
Additionally, these help sheets can be requested by phoning,
emailing or writing to us, or by dropping in to see us at any of
our offices.
Help sheet categories include:
• About dementia
• Caring for someone with dementia
• Looking after families and carers
• Residential care and dementia
• Changed behaviours and dementia
• Young people and dementia
These help sheets are also available in 32 community languages.
A large range of in-depth dementia related information, such as
books, journals and DVDs are available through the specialist library
at our Hawthorn Family Services office. Items loaned from the
library can be posted, upon request.
General information can also be accessed by calling the
National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.
Interpreter and hearing
services can be provided.
10. 10 Alzheimer’s Australia Vic
Can I talk to somebody about my
concerns relating to dementia?
People generally want to know what services are available, how
to access those services and what can be done to improve their
personal situation. It is important for people to have somebody to
talk to throughout their experience with dementia. Our team of
trained and experienced dementia specialists provide personalised
information and advice.
Often people wish to discuss emotional reactions, changed
relationships, planning for the future, sourcing appropriate services,
living arrangements, dealing with changes in behaviour, family or
cultural reactions.
Sessions with dementia specialists can be provided face-to-face at
one of our offices or in a family home. Alternatively, they can take
place over the telephone or by using Internet services such as Skype.
11. Dementia Services Guide 11
Who is the counselling for?
Counselling for individuals
We have a number of professional counsellors who are available
to support you to work through your questions and concerns and
address the emotional impacts of living with dementia. Often it
is the family and carers that benefit from attending counselling
sessions. However, people in the early stages of dementia or
people with concerns about their memory can also benefit.
Counselling for families
The word ‘family’ means different things to different people. At
Alzheimer’s Australia Vic, we consider a family quite simply as any
group of individuals who refer to themselves as a family.
Families often provide the main source of support for people living
with dementia. Counselling can therefore be provided to the whole
family, sections of the family or individuals within the family.
Our specialist Family Counsellors work with any combination of
family members and may also work with the professional or social
networks of families to assist positive changes.
Family counselling is concerned with the interactions between
family members and building support within the family unit.
Counselling for couples
Couples impacted by dementia are a specific type of family
group, many of whom receive counselling together. The issues
associated with changed relationships are often areas that people
wish to discuss. Our counsellors can support couples to work
through these issues.
12. 12 Alzheimer’s Australia Vic
Are there ways that a person
with dementia can meet people
in similar situations?
Many people in the early stages of dementia are
keen to meet and interact with other people in similar
circumstances, discussing feelings and experiences.
‘Living with Dementia’ groups
Our ‘Living with Dementia’ groups are designed to meet
this need whilst, at the same time, offering education and
support. People in the early stages of dementia can attend
alone if they wish, but usually attend with a support person
(their partner, another relative or a friend).
During a series of counsellor-led interactive group sessions,
all presentations and discussions are relevant to people in
the early stages of dementia.
Topics include:
• symptoms and diagnosis
• research and drug treatments
• driving
• planning for the future
• living well with dementia
• community services
• legal issues
13. Dementia Services Guide 13
Memory Lane Cafés
Our Memory Lane Cafés offer an opportunity for people
living with dementia to have a social outing in a supportive
and familiar environment. It is ideal to attend these events
with a partner or family member, however people with
dementia living alone can attend by themselves.
Each event consists of a two-hour session held in a
community café setting, where guests are treated
to morning or afternoon tea, entertainment and the
opportunity to interact with other people in similar
circumstances. Our staff members are also available
to support and discuss all aspects of dementia and our
services.
Memory Lane Cafés are held eight times per year at
various locations throughout Victoria. There are also more
specialised cafés catering to different cultural groups or
people living with younger onset dementia.
Feedback from guests is that the cafés have become an
important part of their lives and they feel more connected
to their community as a result. There is a small fee for
attending which can be waived if you are experiencing
financial hardship.
15. Dementia Services Guide 15
Are there services supporting younger
people living with dementia?
People living with younger onset dementia, their families and carers
have particular needs arising from their age, stage of life and the type
of dementia. ‘Younger onset dementia’ generally means the person
with the diagnosis is under 65 years of age. They will most probably
have different interests to older people living with the disease. They
may also still be in full-time employment, often at the peak of their
career, have a mortgage or dependent children or parents.
Recognising these differing needs, we run the Younger Onset
Dementia Key Worker Program. Participants have one point of
contact who assists those involved with information, support,
education and counselling towards achieving their unique goals.
This ‘Key Worker’ provides individualised support and facilitates
connections to other relevant services in the community.
The Younger Onset Dementia Key Worker Program also provides:
• Living With Younger Onset Dementia − a group program offering
education and support
• Younger Onset Dementia Cafés − a way for younger people to
come together socially and meet others in a similar situation
• Younger Onset Dementia Online Forum − a national forum which
provides a place for people to share stories, seek advice and connect
with others in a similar situation − www.talkdementia.org.au
• Family counselling
• Linking to services
• Support to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme
17. Dementia Services Guide 17
Are there group information and
support sessions available for families
and people with dementia?
There will come a time when a person living with dementia will
eventually need hands-on care and increased support from loved ones.
Families and carers tend to cope better when they have a good
understanding of dementia, have been educated on ways to
manage the issues associated with the disease and have developed
ways to manage their own reactions and emotions.
Our Family Information and Support Sessions provide
participants with an in-depth understanding of the issues associated
with caring for a person living with dementia, whilst at the same
time providing an environment where people in similar situations
can share stories, concerns and reactions.
The range of programs covers diverse topics addressing the
different aspects of caring. Some are short, one-off sessions whilst
others run over several weeks. All programs are offered in different
locations across Victoria.
Some examples of the topics covered are:
• Introduction to dementia
• Coping with changes in behaviour
• Effective communication
• The caring role
• Coping with carer stress
• Considering residential care
• Depression and dementia
19. Dementia Services Guide 19
I have concerns about my memory,
but have not been diagnosed with
dementia. Is there support available
for me?
People with concerns about their memory or thinking are
encouraged to call so we can assist with ensuring they are
properly assessed.
‘Cognitive impairment’ is the term used when we experience
difficulties with our thinking. Memory, concentration, planning
and problem solving can all be affected. Whilst some people who
experience difficulties with their memory may eventually develop
dementia, others never will.
Mild cognitive impairment information sessions
These sessions are suitable for people diagnosed with mild
cognitive impairment (MCI) and their families. The program looks
at the difference between normal aging, MCI and dementia and
discusses ways to manage the impacts of the condition.
LaTCH program
All people who experience cognitive problems can benefit from
programs designed to improve their memories and education on
the best ways in which to manage their day-to-day lives.
LaTCH is a program that runs for six weeks, facilitated by trained
group leaders. People with MCI and a support person (if available)
attend together.
21. Dementia Services Guide 21
What can I do if Alzheimer’s
Australia Vic doesn’t offer the
specific support I need?
Alzheimer’s Australia Vic partners with many external
service providers within the community. For many of
these service providers, we offer secondary consultation
and advice. Whatever your needs, we will act as a
gateway and through our referral process will connect
you to the appropriate provider.
