Michelle Boiardi

Michelle is dedicated to supporting innovative care to those facing cognitive issues. To this end, she developed the Touchstone Cognitive Health method to be implemented at all of our communities. It is designed to positively influence all aspects of our resident’s daily life and incorporates principles from the MIND Diet and Montessori education.

Michelle has more than 22 years’ experience in direct care and managing memory units at some of the area’s best residential facilities. She has trained with the nation’s leading dementia care authorities and has traveled throughout Eastern Massachusetts providing presentations, special events, and training programs and promoting cognitive health. She is a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP®), a Certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer (CADDCT®), Certified Montessori Dementia Care Practitioner (CMDCP®) and Certified First Responder Dementia Trainer (CFRDT). She has also earned a Foundation for Wellness Certificate from ICAA (International Council on Active Aging®).

Michelle provides regional operations support to our communities in Vermont and one in New Hampshire.
