Jeannine Forrest, PhD, RN
Director of Dementia Horizons Academy at Dementia Society of America
Coaching, Education & Support for Families, Caregivers & Care Communities
Caring for someone with dementia can feel like navigating deep waters without a map. The questions, the emotions, the constant changes—many caregivers describe feeling like they’re struggling to stay afloat.
This is where Dr. Forrest steps in.
For decades, families have turned to Jeannine Forrest, PhD, RN as the calm voice, the steady hand, and the compassionate guide who helps them breathe again. Dr. Forrest is often described as a lifeline—someone who brings clarity, comfort, and direction at moments when the path forward feels uncertain or overwhelming. Her approach is gentle, deeply human, and grounded in understanding not just the person living with dementia, but the people who love and care for them.
What to Expect
Working with Dr. Forrest—whether through private coaching or a care-community partnership—offers a safe, supportive space centered on understanding, connection, and meaningful progress. There is no script. Each conversation, training, or consultation is shaped around your needs and the realities you’re facing.
Dr. Forrest listens first.
She meets individuals, families, and care teams exactly where they are.
And she helps everyone involved find steadiness and clarity, one step at a time.
If you’re unsure where to begin, she can help you explore topics such as:
Making sense of confusing changes or challenging behaviors
Easing difficult moments with practical, compassionate strategies
Communicating in ways that reduce stress and increase connection
Supporting someone living with dementia while caring for yourself
Planning for what’s next with confidence rather than fear
Creating environments—at home or within a care community—that feel safer and more peaceful
Strengthening emotional connection even as dementia progresses
No matter which service path you choose, the goal is the same: to leave you feeling more grounded, more informed, and far less alone—like someone has finally offered a steady hand and is helping you chart a clear, compassionate path forward.
