Geriatric Resources, Inc. specializes in Alzheimer's caregiving resources and services. GRI was founded a gerontologist and nursing home administrator, with the goal of improving the quality of care and life of persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. From experiences in opening the first "no restraint" nursing home in the early 80's, the firm's principals quickly recognized the lack of appropriate caregiving resources and trained staff to properly serve the cognitively impaired residents. Today, Ms. Lucero's caregiving resource catalogs are distributed to over 50,000 long term care institutions throughout the U.S. and Canada. The company also conducts over 100 educational workshops annually, throughout North America, on all aspects of dementia. For its caregiving efforts, the company is the recipient of the "Education Award" by the American College of Healthcare Administrators.
