With more than 25 years leading staff education in long-term care, Open Door Training & Development President Lori Dierolf uses her unique and colorful "edu-tainment" style to help others better understand the changes that happen to a person living with dementia. Lori speaks and conferences across the United States, hosts seminars, and works on-site with long-term care facilities to train employees and educate families about Alzheimer's and other dementia-related diseases. She understands that just knowing dementia facts is not enough, and she focuses her sessions on providing real-life, hands-on suggestions for improving quality of care and quality of life for persons with the disease, as well as their caregivers.
