If you worry about getting dementia, you’re in the right place.

Hi! I’m Emerson Lee. I’m a dementia readiness coach and life enrichment specialist.

I offer step-by-step guidance to shift from fear of losing your memory to confidence that you can live fully, as yourself, for the rest of your life, even and especially with a progressive neurocognitive disorder.

That might feel impossible so this page shares my 3-step process called The Bridge To Dementia Readiness.

The Bridge to Dementia Readiness can lead you from fear to confidence in 3 simple, powerful, and even fun steps.

They are:

  1. Reclaim Your Personhood

  2. Reimagine Your Future

  3. And Reinvigorate Your Village

This page shares at least 1 option for each step so you can cross the bridge at any time, and the first step is FREE.

Bridge To Dementia Readiness, Step 1: Reclaim Your Personhood

Make a FREE MoMo-Map™ :
Your Map to More Moments!

A MoMo-Map™ is a one-page, portable document that shares who you are and what you love. It’s designed to travel with you from home to the hospital, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and any other step on the often unpredictable journey of aging, illness, and disability.

This is my #1 tool for anyone who is afraid of getting dementia. It can create thousands of meaningful moments from now until the end of your life.

This information is most effectively shared BEFORE your ability to communicate becomes impaired, so the best time to make it is NOW. But the good news is that it’s fun!

Because a MoMo-Map™ can be a life-changing support, it’s available to individuals for FREE when you sign up for Love Letters To Your Brain. Professionals and organizations are invited to inquire about group rates at emersonlee@makinghappymemories.com.
