Education
Raquel and Ryan welcomed their first guest of 2023 to the Senior Soup Podcast, Andrea Bendig, the owner, and founder of Wellness Strategies Group.
This is Episode 11 of The Senior Soup Podcast.
Andrea Bendig is a master's prepared registered nurse with 30 years of experience.
She is a certified case manager and delegating nurse for those in assisted living and home settings, and she’s a certified dementia practitioner.
Andrea noticed a gap in our healthcare system and launched Wellness Strategies Group. She’s on a mission to bridge the proverbial gap in our healthcare system and support older adults and their families' journeys throughout the aging process.
Her area of expertise is in geriatric and dementia care solutions. Her services are designed to help older adults achieve optimal health and wellness and ensure they have the proper care.
She provides her Maryland healthcare services in Howard, Montgomery, Baltimore, and Carroll Counties. Andrea also offers virtual support to her Maryland patients.
Andrea’s healthcare consulting services are particularly beneficial for family members of older adults who live away from their loved ones and are concerned about their care and well-being.
She creates individualized healthcare plans to help her patients get back on track. Andrea can, on behalf of her patients and their families, liaise between patients, Maryland hospital case management teams, and skilled nursing facility social workers.
Andrea shared with Raquel and Ryan several real-life scenarios about how her Maryland healthcare consulting services can benefit Maryland families who often struggle to make critical decisions about their elderly relatives' living situations.
With over thirty years of nursing experience, Andrea is a critical resource for Maryland’s older adult communities (and their families) experiencing cognitive decline due to dementia and Alzheimer's. She empowers Maryland families to make the best decision for their loved ones.
Andrea assists her patients with medication management and reviews and has experience working with patients with mental health diagnoses. She offers wellness checks to ensure her patients live safely at home, helping them remain connected with their families, loved ones, friends, and neighbors.
Raquel and Ryan concluded their discussion with Andrea about the importance of helping Maryland families find resources for aging loved ones.
