AlzBetter was developed by Gary Skole, who has operated a private duty home care agency since 1989. After almost twenty years of caring for people, he realized that he really knew very little about how to properly care for someone with dementia in their home. Like most agency owners, he would tell inquiring families that his agency knew how to care for someone with Alzheimer’s and then look for a caregiver that had received some form of training, usually from a nursing home or other facility. Sometimes the cases went well but other times they would go through aide after aide until the family finally switched services or ended up placing their loved one into a facility.
