Meet Gayon Buchanan
LPN · Founder of Bella Cares
With over a decade of experience caring for individuals living with dementia — including clinical nursing, memory care leadership, and professional education — Gayon created the Bella Cares Dignity-First™ Method to help families and care teams respond with confidence, compassion, and dignity.
Learn the Bella Cares MethodWhy Ask Bella is different
Most tools use AI to manage symptoms. Ask Bella uses the Dignity-First™ Care Method to honor the person living with dementia.
Dignity-first, not compliance-first
We never try to 'fix' the person. We decode what the behavior is communicating and respond in ways that preserve identity, choice, and comfort.
Built from real caregiving experience
Gayon Buchanan shaped every principle from over a decade of hands-on dementia care, memory care leadership, and professional training.
Guidance that meets you at 3 a.m.
Sundowning, refusal, repetition, wandering — Ask Bella gives calm, step-by-step help inside the hard moment, not after it passes.
