About Dragonfly

DEMENTIA CARE SERVICES

FOR PRIMARY CAREGIVERS

  • Consulting

    Our guidance consultation is intended for individual caregivers and family members caring for loved ones with a memory loss diagnosis. Whether you’ve been “in the thick” of caregiving for years or are new to the responsibilities of your role, our services ensure you are not alone.

  • Support Groups

    Let’s partner to enhance the care of loved ones. If you’re part of a memory care community and looking to improve the care available to your residents’ loved ones, our support groups allow caregivers to make new friends and learn they are not alone in the caregiving journey, making things easier or more enjoyable throughout navigating care.

  • Education Modules

    Individual or group educational modules for families and caregivers. These modules are intended for family caregivers, unpaid volunteers, fellow church members, neighbors, or anyone who finds themselves “informally” standing alongside someone with memory impairment.

“LaVon was a wonderful source of guidance and support when I was trying to decide how to best help my dad sell his house and move into assisted living. She was very knowledgeable about all the different options and was patient as I talked through my concerns. She had good advice that I was able to put into action and it was a relief to know I could call her again if any more questions came up. I would definitely recommend her services to other families with older relatives who need help.”

DEMENTIA CARE SERVICES

FOR FRONTLINE CAREGIVERS

  • Support Groups

    If you don’t already have the option of offering an ongoing Support Group, now there is a way to support them and your potential residents’ caregivers. This is also a beautiful way to welcome the caregivers in the neighborhood into your doors to make them feel part of a supportive community.

  • Education Modules

    These are group education modules for professional caregivers. They are intended for formal caregivers working in memory care communities, skilled care communities, adult day services, home health care agencies, hospice care organizations, and shared housing.

The Meaning Behind Dragonfly

Our vision for Dragonfly Senior Navigation Services was developed from a deeply personal place of inspiration and professional experience in providing care—the meaning behind Dragonfly is a reflection of that.

Dragonflies remain a nod from heaven, symbolizing wisdom and resilience to adapt to change. As the Owner/Founder of Dragonfly Senior Navigation Services, LaVon Lenaway recalls the memories and care of her mother: “They remind me of my mom’s pride and joy in her four girls. They consistently show up at beautiful and meaningful times, and I silently greet them with a warm smile and loving memories of my mom. They also remind me of the important things to hold on to.” 

Through education, support, and consultation the significance of the work we do at Dragon Senior Navigation Services is to inspire hope and ease of navigation through this corner of the world and for all those providing dementia care.
