Kerry Nagel
Kerry is a native Minnesotan but has called the Flathead Valley home for most of the last 25 years. Kerry's Dementia care work started in 2014 with a Montana Nurse Aide course. Kerry describes her background, helping to connect her life experiences with her passion and current work: "Specializing in Dementia care connects so many dots of my life. My yoga practice helps me to stay calm and engage with people in this particular moment. The English major and artist in me is fascinated with word substitution and the creativity involved with alternative means of communication. Living in Tokyo during my Junior year of college informs me of how it feels to be lost in a crowd and unsure of what those around me are discussing. And my sense of humor comes in handy on a regular basis. This is not work I was "born to do." It is work I have grown into, and I love it."
Kerry provides education & support to the community through our partnership with Flathead County Agency on Aging, offering monthly education and monthly open forums for caregivers of persons with Dementia. She is also an integral partner in carrying out our signature social health program.
