Skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care nurses
Amy Meek
Friendship Village
Mental health issues are very frequently undiagnosed in today's seniors since there was such a stigma about it in prior generations. Amy's help in bridging the generational gap as an educator is incredibly valuable. Since Amy spends so much time around the residents, she can see if they're isolating, withdrawing or struggling in some way.
