Dementia Coaching
As a caregiver, do you have questions without answers? Would you like to have someone to talk with who will help you navigate your way through this dementia journey on a personal level? Are you interested in discussing your questions and concerns with someone who understands your frustration?
As your dementia coach, I will develop a plan to assist caregivers in their roles. As a Certified Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Trainer as well as a Certified Dementia Practitioner, and an RN (30+ years) working in long-term care and assisted living facilities, I understand your questions regarding dementia.
My coaching program consists of one-hour sessions (telephone or zoom meeting, your choice) once every 2 weeks (or according to our contract) to provide education, answer questions and guide the caregiver through the challenges of diagnoses, behavioral issues, personal care, placement if needed in a care facility and much more. I can join the caregiver at any point in your journey that meets our schedules.
In addition to the dementia coaching option, I offer a one hour consultation conveniently scheduled for you to ask questions regarding dementia and your loved one.
First 15 minute consultation by telephone is free. Please submit your request in the CONTACT US section below.
