During the consultation you will gain a better understanding of dementia, be provided with real- world solutions to the challenges you are facing, and receive direction in planning for what's to come. 

 

Your consultation will highlight:

• The definition of dementia, the different types of dementia, and the most common symptoms 

• The stages of dementia and the amount of support each requires

• Tips and tricks for common problems of care such as issues during dressing, showering, taking medicine, eating, etc.

• Training on communication techniques and approach strategies

• Recommendations for meaningful and engaging activities 

• Recommendations for appropriate community resources and assistance in creating a "care team"

• Guidance in understanding the different levels of care communities, the services they provide, and appropriate options for your loved one

• Understanding in the expectations of the progression of dementia

​

Our goal is that you gain new information and personalized information that will help improve the quality of life and day-to-day care for your individual living with dementia.
