Heather Lankford has a diverse background in Alzheimer’s and Memory Care that spans many settings.

She started out in this industry as an Activity Director in a Skilled Nursing Community and developed a great respect for the aging population while there.

Heather has a passion for compassion in working with residents and family members who are facing the unknown in the realm of Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. She has over nineteen years of experience working with the Memory Impaired population in Skilled Nursing, Adult Day Care, Adult Day Health Care, and the Assisted Living Memory Care settings.

She has facilitated Alzheimer Association Support Groups and an Early Stage Support Group for those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. She has also volunteered for the local chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association on the annual Memory Walks.

I find that my job is not really a job, but a rewarding way to pay it forward and to give back to the memory-impaired community and their families. My personal life motto is “No Day but Today.”

I have two beautiful young daughters who are the center of my universe. As a family we enjoy our time together and love going on day trips, camping, Dutch oven cooking, and having fun at the local neighborhood parks.
