Beth Cayce, a native of Savannah Georgia, witnessed in her later teen years how heavy the burden of caring for a family member with Dementia or chronic illness can be. Even with a devoted heart and selfless mentality, offering oneself to serve someone battling these illnesses is an immense challenge. As she shared the care with her mother, she realized how ill equipped they were to understand the disease and its behavioral effects. When Beth left to go to college in her pursuit of a health care degree, she watched her mother, over a 6-year period, provide care for not one, but three individuals with dementia and chronic health challenges. Unfortunately, caring for these individuals contributed to her mother’s early death. For Beth, the testimony of her mother’s sacrifice motivated her to learn all she could about senior care in order to position herself to be a reliable and informed source of support for others.
Beth went on to graduate from Georgia State University with a BS in Physical Therapy and MS in Health Leadership and Administration. The experiences and skills garnered during her professional career allowed her to develop a number of health care functions including free standing rehabilitation units in hospitals and person-centered dementia programs. As she grew and progressed in her vocational journey, she was able to become part of the executive management team of a national rehabilitation and senior living company.
