MEET HOPE & THE FOUNDER

Welcome to Hope Alzheimer's & Dementia Care! We are so grateful you have taken the time to visit our website and hopefully get some insight into what Hope can do for you and your loved ones. Jessica Dawn Bernhardt is the founder of Hope. She is a Registered Nurse and is currently obtaining her certification as a Certified Alzheimer's Caregiver through the National Certification Board of Alzheimer and Aging Care. Her experience and time spent working as a Registered Nurse on the Medical-Surgical Unit, Oncology Unit, and Acute Rehabilitation Unit through our local Feather River and Enloe hospitals have provided her with years of experience to bring you the best care for your loved ones.

Jessica is known for her loving and nurturing nursing spirit, along with a desire to bring the absolute best to each and every one of her clients and caregivers. Her passion for memory care began when she started caring for her grandmother Elaine at age 89. Her memory started to fail her and quickly progressed into a moderate stage of vascular dementia. Elaine was diagnosed as having mixed dementia, which, in her case, is vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. Jessica saw the need for not only care for her grandmother, but also respite care for her mother, Diane.

Any stage of dementia can be challenging for anyone. But it does not have to be without Hope. We are here to assist with giving our clients and caregivers a better outcome through each and every story and stage of dementia and Alzheimer's that their loved ones go through. Hope is here to give the best quality of life back to our clients and caregivers so that each day is more fulfilling and manageable. Hope is ready to share their experience and dedication with your loved ones.
