Giving back from experience

FACING THE SYMPTOMS AND her mother’s unexpected Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Cynthia Jensen contacted Dementia Together’s founder, Cyndy Lusinski. Cynthia was stressed, frustrated and had no idea how to begin caring for her mother. Luzinski’s quiet demeanor calmed Cynthia and guaranteed her that she wasn’t alone in her and her mother’s dementia journey.

Eventually, Cynthia learned about the Contented Dementia program Luzinski promotes and felt Dementia Together a deserving place to donate her time. Cynthia has served on the board for approximately six years. Once the organization developed a free meal drop plan for dementia families, Cynthia volunteered to coordinate the program.

Cynthia plans and purchases meals from, preferably, family-owned restaurants. She helps distribute the meals between ten or so drivers, including herself and her husband Terry. Invariably, the restaurant owners have a family member or know of someone with dementia and offer a discount on meals to the organization.

“I was asked if I wanted to JUST drop off the meals or stay and visit,” says Cynthia. She understood the isolation and loneliness of those navigating the dementia journey. “I chose to visit. I start a conversation and then sit back and listen as people talk.” They seldom have anyone to talk to other than their loved one, many of whom can no longer carry on a conversation.

Terry says, “We are Dementia Together’s servants. We do the smaller jobs so the leaders can do the bigger jobs for which they are trained.” Terry explains he nor Cynthia are teachers. They haven’t the skills to carry out the organization’s programs. “Luzinski and her partners don’t need to plan, pick up and drop off meals. We can do those things.”

Not only do the Jensen’s do the meal drops, but they also allow Dementia Together free use of their basement for office space and storage. “We had six children,” says Terry. “Our house is big and mostly unused. The office is only occupied Monday mornings two to three weeks out of a month.”

Terry also plays pool with dementia patients. “We don’t play by any rules. It doesn’t matter,” says Terry, “as long as they enjoy the outing. We visit Sports Emporium every Friday when dementia patients play free from 12-1:30pm.” In the past, Cynthia drove for Senior Alternative IN Transportation (Saints). She enjoyed getting to know her clients as she took them to facilities to visit spouses, the grocery store or beauty shop.

Cynthia and Terry Jensen promote the organization to anyone they meet, including some police officers who noticed the Dementia Together sign on the back of Terry’s truck. They passionately give back to the dementia community and teach dementia families they are not alone in their dementia journey.
