About Your Instructor
Rachael Wonderlin started Dementia By Day as a blog in 2014 while she was working as a Dementia Care Director at a Brookdale building in North Carolina. That blog eventually turned into her first book with Johns Hopkins University Press, and came out in 2016, the same year that Dementia By Day became a full-time consulting business.
She has a Master’s in Gerontology from UNC Greensboro, a Bachelor’s in Psychology from University of Mary Washington, and three books about dementia published with Hopkins Press. Rachael was a Dementia Care Director at three buildings before moving into her role as a full-time consultant.
