About me

With over 30 years of experience in nursing and senior healthcare leadership, Pamela Reese, RN — known professionally as Nurse Reese — has built a career dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults and their caregivers.

She has advanced from Director of Nursing to Vice President of Clinical Operations, and ultimately to Chief Clinical Officer and co-owner of post-acute rehabilitation facilities, assisted living communities, CCRCs, and memory care programs—overseeing the care of thousands of older adults.

A recognized expert in geriatric and Alzheimer’s care, Pamela blends her extensive clinical background with deeply personal insight—having walked the caregiving journey with her own mother living with Alzheimer’s disease. This experience shaped her life’s mission: to help others navigate aging and memory loss with grace, understanding, and confidence.

Pam was also appointed to the Ohio Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Committee, contributing her voice and expertise to statewide initiatives advancing dementia care and caregiver support.

As an educator and advocate, she has facilitated multiple caregiver support groups and is a speaker and trainer on topics of Alzheimer’s, relational-centered care, and compassionate aging practices. Pamela is also the author of the children’s book 'GIGI, Are You In There? Mia Learns About Alzheimer’s,' which helps families introduce memory loss to children in a gentle and understanding way.

Through her GRACE™ (Gentle Relational Awareness for Caregivers through Engagement) philosophy, Nurse Reese continues to inspire both families and professionals to approach care not only with skill—but with heart.

Why families need support

Caring for an aging parent or a spouse with Alzheimer’s or another chronic condition is not only a medical journey—it’s an emotional one. Families often find themselves caught between love and exhaustion, doing their best while feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, and alone.

Even when families decide it’s time for help, the path forward can feel like a maze—navigating community resources, evaluating home care options, and selecting the right assisted living or memory care community. The process is filled with questions, guilt, and fear of “getting it wrong.” This is where expert, compassionate support changes everything.
