Individual Counseling & Support
In a 1-hour consulting session I help people explore their loved one’s current situation and strength, and how we can complement Memory Care Community Support with the proven communication skills and resources of Positive Approach to Care. It is also a time to help identify and troubleshoot issues within the confines of the dementia journey.
- Every 1-hour consultation includes a follow up with resources based on needs.
- These can be calls, zoom or in person.
Support Groups
Families and care providers are invited to join others on a similar journey to gain practical insights and connection for better well-being for all. Feel validation, empowerment and a sense of normalcy while navigating the journey of dementia in a group setting.
Weekly topics include:
- Understanding Dementia
- Communication
- Sensory Changes
- Person-Centered Problem Solving
- Techniques to help reduce distress
- Palliative Caretaking
