Who we are

Bella Cares, LLC exists to transform the dementia care experience for families, care teams, and the communities that support them. We know that cognitive change impacts every part of life, and we believe no one should have to navigate that journey without clear guidance, practical tools, and a compassionate partner.​

Founded by Certified Dementia Practitioner and Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer Gayon Buchanan, Bella Cares blends frontline memory care leadership with evidence-based education. We specialize in turning complex dementia concepts into real-world strategies that honor each person’s story, preserve dignity, and strengthen relationships.​

At Bella Cares, we:

  • Equip professional caregivers and leaders through engaging speaking, training, and workshops

  • Support families with education that helps them understand the disease process and respond with confidence

  • Champion person-centered, dignity-first approaches across dining, daily care, communication, and engagement.

Our programs are grounded in current research and best practices, but they are delivered with heart. We envision a future where every person living with dementia—and every caregiver walking beside them—is seen, valued, and supported to live as fully as possible
