Consultations
Caring for someone with dementia can be both rewarding and challenging. Dementia causes changes in memory, thinking, and behavior that can make everyday life feel unpredictable. Whether your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
As a Dementia Consultant, I partner with caregivers to bring clarity, confidence, and calm to what can often feel like a confusing process. Each one-hour consultation is completely personalized to your needs helping you understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you can do next.
During your session, we’ll:
- Explore the stages and progression of dementia
- Identify the reasons behind specific challenges
- Develop a customized care plan with practical, real-world strategies
Common challenges we can address together include:
- Agitation or restlessness
- Delusions or paranoia
- Repetitive questions or phrases
- Resistance with bathing, dressing, or medications
- Home safety concerns
- Sundowning
- Wandering
- Driving Concerns
As your consultant, I will:
- Assess your current situation and priorities
- Create a tailored care plan and coordinate next steps
- Explain what to expect as the disease progresses
- Help you understand and respond to behavior changes
- Share communication and task-simplifying techniques that ease stress for both of you
- Guide you in accessing services and resources that best fit your needs
Consultations are offered in person and virtually for your convenience. New clients receive a free 20-minute introductory session.
