Belynda Barkley Montgomery
Principal / Owner
Belynda Montgomery has over 25 years of experience in Healthcare. She began providing home health care for a quadraplegic patient while attending school to become a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in Texas. Since graduation, Belynda has worked at Texas NeuroRehab Center in Austin. Many patients have experienced both physical and neurological trauma. This involves a wide range of medical care, including difficult behavioural issues, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), strokes, and dementia. Her work requires a team approach with Physicians, Nurses, Wound Care Specialists, Physical Therapists, Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Respiratory Therapists, Social Workers, and Case Managers.
Belynda’s experience illuminated the need for Patient Advocacy. She has witnessed first-hand the frustration, anxiety, and confusion of patients, families and friends. Over the years, Belynda has served as a Patient Advocate for her own family and friends. This has clearly reinforced the need, and the best ways to approach each patient’s unique situation.
SIGN UP TO STAY IN TOUCH:
“I took a BBM Advocate class back in November to support the friend teaching it. I NEVER expected to learn so much. One of my big fears is that my mom will fall when we are together and I won't be able to help her.
Given the nature of mother/daughter relationships, we would likely start yelling at each other if she were to fall. There would be snot and tears and panic. Not anymore! After taking this class, I feel ready! I know how to coach my mom to work with me to get off the floor, how to effectively work TOGETHER and when to stay put and call for help. Well worth 1 hour!”
