Marion Somers, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

I, Dr. Marion Somers, have over 50 years experience in geriatrics and elder care education. Extensive experience in bringing new and transitioning companies to their fullest potential in delivering service, product, and education of ground breaking and innovative ideas. I am a recognized author, lecturer, and have had guest appearances on radio and tv. I also hold an RCFE License.In addition, I am also known as, "Doctor Marion," in the elder care field, I have provided care for more than 2,000 elderly clients while owning and operating a thriving Geriatric Care Management practice. It is now my goal and mission to help Caregivers (e.g. Administrators, RN's, CNA's, medical field representatives, home care individuals) everywhere by providing valuable insights and information through my books, articles, lectures, and hands-on demonstrations.While others might avoid elder care issues at every turn, I have made caring for the elderly my life's work. I focus on the grey hair or wrinkles of the elderly. I am inspired by the beauty of their life experience. If an individual has lived to be 90 years old, they must have some real skills and smarts to get their needs met in life. It's vital we tap into the wisdom, strength, and life strategies of the elderly before this knowledge is lost.I am very much aware that Caregivers feel scared, angry, guilty, frustrated, overworked, and under appreciated. I strive to pass along knowledge and practical advice in a way that all Caregivers can understand. There are many common issues that Caregivers face when dealing with the elderly. The language or the culture may be different, the values or the color of skin may be different, but many issues are universal, and it's my goal to make a positive impact.Specialties: Medical Product Education; Care of an Aging Parent; Caring for the Caregiver; Counseling Skills; Dying, Death, and Bereavement Management; Geriatrics Education; Retirement Planning; Stress Management for the ElderlyThe Second Addition of my book, "Elder Care Made Easier" is available through Amazon and Barnes and Nobles.
