A concierge occupational therapy and dementia consulting practice designed to elevate quality of life across the lifespan.
Improving the quality of life for all people.
Dr. Angelica Catusco is the Founder and Owner of The Dementia Docs, a concierge, wellness-centered occupational therapy and dementia consulting practice.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science from the University of Arizona, with an emphasis in development and aging and a minor in psychology. She later completed her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Kean University.
Her professional background includes years in inpatient rehabilitation, shaping her function-first, whole-person approach to care. Today, Angelica focuses on nationwide dementia consulting, caregiver education, and program development aimed at improving quality of life, safety, and care sustainability.
During her doctoral residency, Dr. Catusco developed Empowering Community Caregivers — an evidence-based occupational therapy model focused on improving caregiver quality of life nationwide. Rooted in the Seven Dimensions of Wellness, the program combined individualized therapy, structured strategy, and group support to promote sustainability and advocacy.
For over three years, she has partnered with universities and hospitals as a consultant, educator, and systems strategist.
Outside of work, Angelica enjoys spending time with family and friends, practicing hot yoga, attending live music events, and exploring new places through travel.
