Clients & Raves

Partnerships for Health is honored to work with a diverse group of clients spanning a range of industries—from healthcare, to veterans’ groups, to community and educational groups, and more. See below for recent rave reviews and a partial client list:

“With two-thirds of the residents at some Homes requiring dementia care, the critical new challenge is improved skills for caregivers. With amazing effectiveness, Heather McKay offers powerful tools that will immediately improve your resident care and nursing safety.” —Kenneth A. Fulmer, PhD,  Former President, Armed Forces Veterans Homes Foundation


“Heather McKay has a straight forward approach which communicates useful concepts all caregivers can put into practice immediately. Her delivery style is motivationg and the information is right on.” —Steve Toll, Director Prescription Music, www.prescriptionmusic.com


“As the former Executive Director of the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs and a long-time nursing home administrator, I’m sure you will find Ms. McKay’s training to be on the mark. Her video will give your medical and nursing services staff many new ideas and perspectives.” —Phillip Driskill, Life Member, National Association of State Veterans Homes


“Recognizing the importance of caring for our American heroes with dementia, we have found Heather McKay’s program to be a powerful and extremely useful tool. It has given us a better understanding of how to care for our residents with dementia.” —William A. Peterson, NHA, FACHCA, Division Director/Administrator, Delaware Veterans Home


“I wanted to send you a quote from one of my clients. She reached out to me today…. ‘Also, just wanted to let you know that the Dementia training sponsored by MEMIC was, without a doubt, the best training I have ever had in my 20 years in the field. Heather McKay was fabulous…Please keep me in mind for other training opportunities such as this one.’ Thank you again!!” —Lauren Caulfield, Loss Control Director, Maine Employees’ Mutual Insurance Company


“I had the opportunity today to look at the brilliant DVD Dementia Care for America’s Heroes that you were so generous to give to the group members and facilitators of the Early Stage Alzheimer’s Group on Wednesday. What a phenomenal job of teaching important concepts! I have never seen anything so well done in this field before this DVD. We will find it invaluable in future groups. And how wonderful that each of the caregivers in this group will have it as a learning tool! Thanks so much for your time and talent on our behalf.” —Lynne Kohn, Durham Early Stage Alzheimer’s Group


“ Just finished watching the new DVD, cried lots and loved every moment. What a wonderful teaching tool for families and I am excited because it will really help our staff identify emotionally with what families  go through while being a great review of their strategies and techniques.  I have shared this series with others in my community to help them cope.”—Nancy


“Great Job!!!  Everyone in this nation needs to see this and especially the Alzheimer’s Association.  Please thank those families for sharing their stories. I love the way the DVD is set up with their stories and reflections along with your teaching.   This DVD will help us all so much as it takes the communication process and breaks it down in a way each step can be remembered. Furthermore, I love the fishing analogy.” —Nancy Maddox, RN, Staff Development Coordinator, Missouri Veterans Home
