StilMee™ (formerly Alzheimer Coaching Services) was founded by Beverly L. Moore,
President, who has more than 40 years experience in mental health, training professionals
and paraprofessionals in the understanding and management of behavior. She is a
clinical specialist in psychiatric nursing and adult mental health, a family therapist,
educator, public speaker, local columnist, author and business owner. She has coached
hundreds of families in the Habilitation model of care.
Sweet Grapes, Inc.’s goal is to build a network of StilMee™ coaches so no family has
to go the dementia journey alone. To this end Sweet Grapes, Inc. recruits qualified
professionals, then trains them in the StilMee™ method of Habilitation Therapy and
licenses them as StilMee™ coaches.
What is a StilMee™ Coach?
A StilMee™ Coach is a compassionate specially trained professional who works
with formal and informal caregivers for someone with a memory disorder. Coaches teach
caregivers effective strategies to improve quality of life for the person with memory loss.
This education fosters caregiver confidence in the ability to make a difference.
How will coaching help?
StilMee™ Coaches help caregivers:
- Understand and accept the behaviors of dementia
- Learn how to simplify tasks so that the person with dementia can more fully and
safely participate in his own care and continue to find pleasure in family life
- Learn to speak in new ways to accommodate language changes
- Gain confidence in sustaining a positive relationship with the person with
dementia
