Specialized Staff Expertise

A Good Daughter Inc. prides itself on a team with deep expertise in various forms of dementia. Carol Caughran, a key counselor and therapist at the firm, specializes in the Lewy-Body dementia and is an active board member of the National Association. Mary Lynne Beringer is in the process of receiving her Certification as a Dementia Professional (CDP).

Training and Certification

All healthcare professionals at A Good Daughter have completed Alzheimer’s Association training, which is approved by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. This rigorous training ensures that the staff is well-equipped to handle the complexities associated with various types of dementia.

In-Home and External Care Coordination

The organization conducts thorough in-home needs assessments to customize care plans that allow seniors to live independently at home for as long as possible. When home living is no longer feasible, the staff assists families in choosing the right long-term care facility, making facility visits, and helping with the selection process. Additional services include accompanying clients to doctor’s appointments, medication monitoring, and supervising in-home help.

Unique Approach to Elder Care

Olga Brunner founded A Good Daughter based on her personal experience caring for her mother with Alzheimer's disease after relocating from California to Florida. This firsthand experience brought to light the intense challenges faced by caregivers, inspiring her to create a business that supports both local and long-distance caregivers. Brunner describes their role as "surrogate daughters," stepping in to provide the care and support that adult children might provide if they were able to do so themselves.

Statistics and Trends in Alzheimer’s Care

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million by 2050. The need for specialized care and support for Alzheimer’s patients and their families is more critical than ever. A Good Daughter Inc. addresses this growing need by offering specialized services that adapt to the evolving landscape of eldercare.
