Dementia Friendly Lawrence County
Supported by: IU Health Bedford Hospital Rural Dementia Network
Lucie Scott is the Network Director and Liaison for Lawrence county through the Rural Dementia Network and the IUH Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Service.
Lucie supports Lawrence and Jackson Counties in her current role. She has experience as a social work intern and program facilitator at Jill’s House Memory Care (assisted living intergenerational preschool), a case manager for a group home and worked in social services at a skilled nursing facility for the long term and memory care units.
When asked about her connection to dementia Lucie says; “My connection to dementia has been through my professional career. I have gotten to engage with many different people living with dementia and their care partners by offering supports through case management and facilitating programs. I am proud to be able to engage positively and creatively with people who are living with or without a diagnosis.”
