Rev. Jamie Wilson - CDP, CDI, CSA, MBA
Jamie Wilson is the President & CEO of Dementia Services Group. Jamie has been trained by the Alzheimer’s Association of America as a Dementia Professional, and has been certified by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners as a Certified Dementia Practitioner and as an Instructor. Ms Wilson has also been trained as a Certified Senior Advisor and is an ordained non - denominational minister. She has worked as a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator but utilizes her training primarily in her work with families to help support them emotionally as well as facilitate healthy family dynamics after a dementia diagnosis. Ms Wilson also facilitates a monthly dementia support group as well as volunteers on a memory care unit working with those residents who are in the most advanced stages of the disease process.
Jamie has a great deal of personal experience with dementia as well as her professional training. Four years ago Jamie’s mother was diagnosed with depression and early stage Alzheimer’s disease. As her Mother’s caretaker and advocate, Jamie has gained a wealth of knowledge, much of it she quips, on “what NOT to do”. |

In addition, Jamie holds a BA and MBA from Dominican University in River Forest, IL
and spent her “former life” as an operations executive working with fortune 500 companies. Jamie was hired by companies for her expertise in crisis management, strategic planning, leading through change and training and development. This expertise transfers into her work as an advocate, advisor and educator.
The mission of DSG is to improve the lives of those living with dementia by offering
support, advocacy and advice to individuals and families and by providing education to
healthcare professionals and senior providers.
This is Jamie’s passion, her purpose and her ministry.
