Helping you find hope for the road ahead.
Providing a strength-based approach to dementia care.
A dementia diagnosis can be scary.
But it does not have to mean only an experience of suffering, crisis or loss of control, in the way the media and medical professionals often predict. You can create a plan right now that will help you maintain control over your care, your finances, and your living situation so that you retain your dignity as you proceed on your dementia journey.
It starts, right here, with understanding what dementia truly IS - a condition that impacts some of your thinking skills leaving you to feel vulnerable. It is this vulnerability that causes much of the stigma experienced by the condition. Dementia, when misunderstood, can push you onto a path of distress, creating responses of crisis and conflict which makes it more likely to lead your family into making decisions.
But when we work together, you (and your loved ones, should they choose to join us) will understand what thinking skills are not impacted by dementia and create a plan of care that gives you security in your future. And when your care partners follow this plan, they’ll find that you’re much less likely to need crisis care and much more likely to enjoy a peaceful and fulfilling life with hope, even with dementia.
