Stephanie Hoffman
Lead Consulting Advisor to Music & Memory
VP of Education and Training for the Texas Culture Change Coalition

Stephanie grew up in a small town where neighbors knew each other and looked out for one another. Where elders were respected for their wisdom - earned from experience - and everyone was family. That worldview has guided her professional career in her home state of Texas.

Former Director of AGE of Central Texas Adult Day Health Center, where she pioneered person-centered care, Stephanie is currently Lead Consulting Advisor to Music & Memory and serves as VP of Education and Training for the Texas Culture Change Coalition. She has also served as President of the Adult Day Health Care Association of Texas and helped to pass legislation securing the dignity and autonomy of elders (SB 1999).

She has been instrumental in the rollout of Music & Memory in Texas which has now been introduced to over 75% of all skilled nursing homes in Texas. This has contributed to the significant reduction of the inappropriate use of anti-psychotic medications along with the first ever dementia curriculum in Texas high schools.

Stephanie is inspired by those who think creatively and move to create impactful outcomes. She embraces technology of all types and believes that focused collaboration is the key to positive change in long-term care.
