A Call to Central Ohio: Join Our Movement to Transform Dementia Care in the Buckeye State

During a November 1 live interview on 98.9 FM, REAL & RAW, EnergizeCare founder Dr. Ken Vitellas joined Mindy Drayer, her guest cohost, a care partner and her husband living with dementia to share their experiences and call on Central Ohio to support the opening of Lisa's Place and a growing movement of respite, engagement, love and hope.

On Sunday, November 1, EnergizeCare founder and president Dr. Ken Vitellas joined Mindy Drayer and her guest cohost for a live conversation on 98.9 FM, REAL & RAW. The message was simple and urgent: Central Ohio has an opportunity to come together and help transform the way families experience dementia.

Two special guests joined Dr. Vitellas on the radio: a care partner and her husband living with dementia. Together, they spoke about their journey, the challenges and isolation that families can experience, and the meaningful engagement, connection and support they have found through EnergizeCare. Their firsthand experiences brought the mission to life.

On Monday, November 9, EnergizeCare will open Lisa's Place in Dublin, Ohio, a pioneering nonmedical dementia respite and engagement hub. The center is designed to offer enriching activities and human connection for individuals living with dementia while providing much-needed respite and community for their care partners. Lisa's Place is inspired by Lisa and by the many families who deserve to be seen, included and supported throughout their journey.

This launch is being made possible by a community of caring people. Family members, coworkers and volunteers have helped assemble furniture, arrange the rooms and prepare a welcoming place for participants and their families. Their generosity reflects the spirit of the movement EnergizeCare hopes to grow across the Buckeye State and beyond.

EnergizeCare invites the entire Central Ohio community to learn about the mission and help build its future. Join us at Champions of Care on Saturday, November 14, at The Estate at New Albany. Tickets are still available for purchase on our EnergizeCare website. Join us, volunteer, donate or share our message. Together, we can reduce stigma and isolation and create more opportunities for joy, dignity, love, hope and engagement for families living with dementia.
