"Pam is an accomplished author and public speaker. Pam’s book really captivated me and made me want to learn more about her as a person. Her book put a humorous ‘spin’ on what is a devastating disease to the loved ones of a dementia patient. Just as Pam’s conversation does in person, her book does in print as she intertwines her personal life story of battles with this disease. I read Pam’s book with growing enthusiasm as the pages encouraged me in my struggle with the dementia of my wife. I could see Pam fighting the same issues I fight.

As I came to know Pam as a neighbor and a friend, I saw the compassion she has for the dementia patients and the caregivers. Her quixotic persistence with the patients is remarkable and an encouragement to me to not give up. Pam routinely visits my wife, with or without me and tries a myriad of approaches to engage my wife. Included in this persistent attitude are small gifts for my wife Pam uses to win her over and better engage her. This is accompanied by Pam’s gift of prayer with my wife as yet another technique of engagement with a dementia patient.

As a practitioner of the fine art of engaging dementia patients, Pam has an ideally suited demeanor. Her positive mental attitude, smile, laughter, and colorful wardrobe are just ‘what the doctor ordered’. Pam’s appearance sets the tone for engaging the caregiver and the patient, alike.

Pam’s demeanor carries over into her sense of hospitality. I, along with many other caregivers, have enjoyed her fine cooking and pleasant conversation at Pam’s dinner table. Her personality also shines in the support group settings that I have attended. In summary, Pam is a valued friend and esteemed professional counselor whom I am so glad to know.”

"I have known Pam for over four years and seen her heart for the caregivers and dementia patients. She has helped people like myself get through this journey of caregiving. She has taught me to see the humor in some in the crazy things people with dementia say and do.

Pam has experienced the death for three family members to dementia and is now caring for her husband who is in memory care. She loves to share funny stories with the dementia patients where her husband lives, bringing laughter to them and their family members. She is loved by all who know her and her enthusiasm for life is evident in all that she does.”

"I am a caregiver to my husband who has dementia. I want to express my deepest soul gratitude to whomever or whatever guided me to Pam Robbins when I was desperate to find out about the changes in my husband’s behavior. She gave me and other caregivers relevant and helpful information, She made me see the humor in some of the things that were happening to my husband. I value you in my life, Pam.”

"I have had the opportunity to be a client of Pam Robbins for over a year. I was recommended by a mutual friend. She has been guiding me on my journey with my wife who is affected by declining cognitive skills. She helped explain some of the unknowns in interacting with a spouse whose behavior is changing right before my very eyes. I am so glad I got to know her. Not only has she helped me with understanding my wife’s needs but more importantly she has taught me to take care of myself. Her humorous stories have brought me to lighten up and laugh and see that I am not alone in this fight. Many people are experiencing greater stress than I am and in her book she tells the tales of caregiver’s escapades.”
