Hey there! I'm SO glad you found me!
Meet Carlyn Lenfestey, Founder and CEO of A Better Way- Dementia Care Solutions, LLC
Hi, I'm Carlyn! I am a physical therapist with over 20 years of experience, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from the University of New England. For more than a decade, I have been a Certified Dementia Care Practitioner and Trainer. My journey into dementia care began when my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer'a, and I watched my grandmother take on the role of caregiver. Over the years, as my remaining three grandparents also developed dementia, I developed a deep commitment to helping caregivers going through this difficult journey.
Having cared for countless patients with dementia, I understand the struggles both personal and professional caregivers face. I have provided training and support to both groups, ensuring that caregivers are knowledgeable, equipped, and empowered. Driven by the belief that people with dementia deserve lives filled with joy and purpose, I am passionate about creating a better way to care for and support both individuals with dementia and those who care for them.

Walk To End Alzheimer's!
Welcome to Team "A Better Way" for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s®!
We were thrilled to participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®—the largest event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Held annually in over 600 communities nationwide, this walk is a powerful movement to end this devastating disease. Currently, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and over 11 million family members and friends provide their unpaid care. We need your support to help change this.
As a physical therapist for over 20 years and a certified dementia practitioner and trainer for more than a decade, I’ve seen the immense challenges caregivers face in dementia care. My personal connection to dementia runs deep. All four of my grandparents were diagnosed with dementia, and witnessing my grandmother care for my grandfather was a life-changing experience. This journey, along with watching my remaining grandparents be lost to dementia, fueled my passion to support caregivers in a meaningful way.
That’s why I started A Better Way – Dementia Care Solutions, LLC. Our mission is to provide caregivers with the tools, strategies, and support they need to create moments of joy and connection, even in the face of dementia.
Thanks to those who made a real impact by donating or joining our team. Together we raised $1,021.52. Your generosity will help advance Alzheimer’s research, improve care, and support families. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
Thank you for standing with us! We look forward to next year!
