Founder & Dementia Specialist
Melissa Denham, CDP, CDSGF, CMDCP
As the founder and lead dementia care specialist at The Dementia Grove, I bring over 20 years of hands-on healthcare experience and a lifelong commitment to providing dementia education and supporting families on their dementia journey. As a proud Florida native deeply rooted in this community, I have dedicated my career to ensuring individuals living with dementia—and those who love and care for them—never walk this path alone. A personal touch: I married my high school sweetheart, and we have 2 boys. We all enjoy the outdoors, and most weekends are spent boating, fishing, or hunting. I also have a deep love for the western North Carolina mountains and try to visit my family cabin for my mental breaks a few times a year. My involvement in the dementia world began when I stayed with my Gramma and Papa (great-grandparents) as a little girl while my parents worked. My Papa had dementia and Parkinson's. I didn’t understand why he was the way he was, but I watched my Gramma take care of him, and I started to help her. That experience stuck with me and led me to my heart's work—providing personalized guidance in dementia care. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your dementia journey. - Melissa
