At The Heart Of Age Well Simply Is Hope!

The Hope For A Better Future For You & Your Loved Ones.

Dear You,

If you are here, you likely love someone who is living with dementia. And you’re carrying the weight of questions, decisions, and emotions that feel overwhelming at times. You may wonder if you’re doing the right thing, saying the right words, or showing up in the way your loved one needs.

I want you to know—you are not alone.

Over the past two decades, I’ve walked alongside thousands of families navigating the journey of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. I’ve seen the heartbreak, the fear, and the exhaustion. But I’ve also witnessed something extraordinary: families discovering resilience, love, and even moments of joy in the midst of the hardest circumstances.

That’s why I created Dementia Care: Family Coaching—a space where you can pause, take a breath, and gain both clarity and confidence. My role is not to hand you a long list of medical to-dos, but to help you understand what’s happening inside your loved one’s changing mind and how you can respond with compassion, calm, and dignity.

When you begin to understand, even just a little, everything shifts. Conversations feel lighter. Reactions soften. And you start to reconnect with the version of yourself you want to be—the one who is patient, steady, and loving.

Coming soon, I’ll be offering Dementia Caring with Kerry, a program designed to give families even deeper guidance, encouragement, and practical tools for this journey. My hope is that through these offerings, you’ll find not just strategies, but comfort and companionship for the road ahead.

This is not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about love that endures, even when words fade. And it’s about helping you feel supported as you care for the one who means so much to you.

With compassion and hope,
Kerr

Kerry Mills (NBC-HWC) - Age Well Simply

Kerry Mills, MPA, is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) as well as an author, lecturer, and best-practices educator serving communities and individuals for nearly two decades in navigating cognitive decline, due to dementia.

Certified as a Bredesen Protocol Practitioner since 2017, she assists clients in integrating the protocol’s processes for optimum brain function. She has witnessed remarkable results in stemming the onset of decline as well as reversal of symptoms to varying degrees.

Kerry earned recognition in the field of Alzheimer’s care as a former New York Regional Manager for a pioneering group in the study of caring for people with dementia. She also served as executive director for several of their communities.

In 2011 Kerry opened Engaging Alzheimer’s LLC expanding her reach in helping families that have loved ones with declining cognition. In 2019, Kerry took a one-year sabbatical to join an interdisciplinary team in opening the Seattle-based Brain Health & Research Institute (BHRI). During this time, Kerry was able to add the significant benefits of functional medicine strategies and protocols to her knowledge base and skill set.

In 2021, Kerry returned to New York to open a new practice, Age Well Simply, geared to the integration of lifestyle medicine in the prevention as well as the intervention of cognitive decline.

Over her 19-year career working with the elderly, seventeen of which were serving people with dementia, Kerry has developed programs that provide a meaningful lifestyle for those afflicted with dementia.

As part of a research team, Kerry successfully completed an assessment of dementia care in all hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, daycare programs, and home care agencies in the London, UK borough of Barnet. The resultant treatment proposal was accepted by England’s NHS.

Kerry also serves as the Dementia Liaison for White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York, and was President-Elect of the Connecticut Geriatric Society. She also served as a member of the Multi-Disciplinary Team – a coalition of non-profit, law enforcement, and private industry professionals for the prevention of elder abuse in New York State.

Whether Kerry is participating in a symposium on health care at the United Nations, sharing her expertise with health professionals in China, moderating a state-of-the-art Alzheimer’s program at Boston’s prestigious Coolidge Theatre, guest lecturing to medical professionals in Hong Kong, training professional care-partners in Toronto or meeting with a family, she always exhibits a high level of enthusiasm and encouragement.

Kerry’s goal is to change the perception of dementia in the public square. She has witnessed many success stories first-hand and knows that much of the despair and anguish of families can be overcome through education, training, and lifestyle changes.

She also provides staff training in best care practices for professional caregivers in nursing homes, assisted living, hospitals, and home care agencies.

In 2015, Kerry authored the book, Serving Residents with Dementia: Transformative Care Strategies for Assisted Living Providers, and in 2014 co-authored the award-winning book, I Care – A Handbook for Care Partners of People with Dementia. She has appeared on PBS’ The News Hour with Paul Solman as well as on CBS television with Dr. Max Gomez.

Kerry’s coaching model is wide-ranging in scope, yet pivotal to the specific needs of the individual. She works with clients, families, and health care organizations to develop a plan of action that will create progress and maximize individual functionality.

Kerry holds an M.P.A. with a specialization in Health Administration from Long Island University and a B.S. in International Marketing from Arizona State University.

About Age Well Simply

At Age Well Simply, we understand the profound fear that comes with the prospect of aging, cognitive decline, and dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease. For many, the traditional medical system feels like a dead end, with treatments that often fail to deliver results—and sometimes make things worse. The overwhelming array of decisions, alongside emotional and financial pressures, leaves families feeling lost and hopeless, while those experiencing cognitive decline find themselves racing against time.

But There’s Hope

We created Age Well Simply to be a guiding light for those navigating the challenges of brain health. Whether you're a prevention-focused individual looking to optimize brain performance, a care partner seeking to understand how best to support a loved one with Alzheimer’s, or someone facing cognitive decline, we offer comprehensive, personalized solutions to help you or your loved one achieve measurable improvements.
