About Us

You Shouldn’t Have to Miss the Moment Because You’re Managing the Crisis

Families caring for loved ones with dementia often stop attending weddings, reunions, graduations, funerals, vacations, and even simple family gatherings because the emotional and physical stress becomes overwhelming.

You want your loved one included.

 

But you’re also worried about:
● wandering
● overstimulation
● confusion
● agitation
● bathroom emergencies
● mobility challenges
● emotional outbursts
● exhaustion from constantly being “on alert”

 

Dementia Nanny™ provides calm, compassionate companionship so families can experience important moments with greater peace of mind and support. Because caregiving shouldn’t mean carrying everything alone.

Founder

How a Cruise Ship Conversation Changed Everything!

Azalea McKinney brings nearly a decade of hands-on experience in elder and dementia care — overseeing four adult group homes, managing clinical care teams, and supporting families through some of the most complex seasons of life.

 

But Dementia Nanny™ wasn’t born in a boardroom. It started on a cruise ship.

While accompanying a client with dementia on a cruise, a fellow passenger watched them together and said something that stayed with Azalea: “I wish I could take my parent on a trip like this — but I wouldn’t know how.”

 

That moment confirmed what she’d already seen in her work: families weren’t missing these moments because they didn’t want to go. They were missing them because they didn’t have the right support.

 

As a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), Azalea built Dementia Nanny™ to close that gap — one family, one moment at a time.
