Our Story
Paradigm Memory Care Consulting was created from a simple belief: Dementia care can and should be better.
For founder Tina Timmons, this work is personal. After her father received a dementia diagnosis in 2017, Tina began to study not only how dementia progresses, but how lifestyle, environment, and purposeful engagement could slow decline and improve quality of life. Her journey led her to the Montessori method for dementia care, an evidence-based framework proven to encourage independence, reduce stress, and restore dignity.
Today, Paradigm blends Tina’s clinical social work background, industry expertise, and lived experience to deliver consulting that transforms both systems and lives.
Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better.
