About Your Consultant

My name is Lauren Ewing, I am a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Speech and Hearing Science from Purdue University and my Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In addition to my license as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the state of Indiana and Certificate of Clinical Competence with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, I have earned my certification as a Dementia Care Specialist through specialized education courses through Evergreen Certifications.

My professional history has been focused on working with adult and geriatric populations residing within Skilled Nursing Facilities (nursing homes), Assisted Living Facilities, Independent Living Facilities, and in-home care. After nearly a decade of experience working with clients with cognitive-communication, speech-language, and swallowing impairments, I gravitated my continuing education and professional focus towards dementia care.

My mission with Always a Village, LLC is to provide education, counseling, and community support to caregivers of those living with dementia. I believe increased knowledge and awareness of the various types of dementia will improve the level of care provided to dependents as well as improve the quality of life of both caregiver and dependent.
