Dementia Care Specialists

Acorn owners, Mary Lynn Ryerson and Lorenzo Mejia, are Qualified Dementia Care Specialists certified by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA).

The QDCS certification is the highest level of qualification available to care professionals from the AFA.  It is awarded to professionals who successfully demonstrate in-depth understanding the types and causes of dementia, clinical procedures and care interventions.  To our knowledge, we are the only home care agency in our market that has this designation.
