Introduction

I’m Dr. Kathleen Matthews, a licensed geropsychologist and founder of Perennial Pathways, serving older adults with dementia and the caregivers who support them across Des Moines and the surrounding areas. My practice offers neurocognitive assessment, therapy, dementia behavioral care planning, and caregiver support and education—all delivered with a person‑centered approach that emphasizes dignity, connection, and resilience. In addition to our West Des Moines office, we provide in‑home services through the Heart at Home program for clients who may find it difficult to access care in a traditional setting. If you or a loved one are noticing signs of cognitive decline, living with dementia, or caring for someone who is, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can find clarity, stability, and a path forward grounded in compassion and hope.
