Hi, I’m Vanessa Landis, RN, BSN, founder of Everlight Memory & Wellness. 🦋

My journey in healthcare began more than 24 years ago as a Certified Nursing Assistant in long-term care. Since then, I have had the privilege of serving older adults and their families in many different roles, including as a nurse, wound nurse, Director of Nursing, educator, and infection preventionist.

Throughout those years, one thing has stayed with me: families often want desperately to care for their loved one with dementia at home, but they aren’t always given the education, tools, or support they need to feel confident doing it.

I created Everlight Memory & Wellness to help change that.

My goal is to take what I have learned throughout my nursing career and turn it into practical, compassionate education that families can actually use at home. I believe dementia care should focus not only on safety, but also on dignity, connection, purpose, and remembering the person behind the diagnosis.

That belief inspired The Everlight Journey™, a caregiver approach designed to help families understand changing needs throughout dementia while meeting their loved one where they are.

I am also continuing my education toward becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with the hope of expanding Everlight’s ability to support individuals, caregivers, and families in the future.

Different abilities. Same person. A brighter tomorrow.

Compassionate Care. Lasting Light. 🦋
