Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) · STL Senior Advisor
Diane Kaminski is a Certified Dementia Practitioner who guides St. Louis-area families through memory care decisions across the metro. She helps caregivers understand how Missouri licenses senior care — Residential Care Facility I (RCF I), Residential Care Facility II (RCF II), and Assisted Living Facility (ALF) under Chapter 198 RSMo and 19 CSR 30-86, all licensed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), Section for Long-Term Care Regulation — along with Alzheimer's Special Care Disclosure requirements and how to plan ahead as dementia progresses. She has particular expertise in reading DHSS inspection records for red flags before a family commits.
Diane Kaminski contributes practical, Missouri-specific guidance to the STL Senior Advisor blog. Our advice is free to families and grounded in current DHSS licensing data and Aged and Disabled Waiver rules.
Free, no-pressure call. We work for families, not facilities.
