As an increasing number of people are diagnosed with a dementia related condition like Alzheimer's, the persons that care for them are faced with behaviors that are often not well understood.
Our Alzheimer's Care Management Services offer support and expert oversight in helping you decide how to best care for your relative with dementia, whether that be at home or helping you find the most appropriate residence for your relative.
Alzheimer's and dementia can be very difficult for family members to understand, and the best course of action depends on many factors where expert advise is extremely valuable. Our services related to Alzheimer's and dementia include:
Development of comprehensive & customized quality of life assessment and care plans.
Expert one-on-one caregiver training to help caregivers provide meaningful activity based on value and meaning.
Monitor and adjust activities and care as the disease progresses into later stages.
Educate caregivers on effective communication strategies.
Lack of caregiver training is an endemic problem in the field of private care.
A private caregiver, on average, receives
0-1 hour of training on dementia care.
Working one-on-one with caregivers in the home, we will monitor, train, and oversee the quality of care the client receives with special attention given to maintaining a person’s quality of life through support activities that have meaning and value for the client. We can suggest a variety of holistic as well as conventional therapies for dealing with the symptoms of Alzheimers and dementia.
Testimonial
"My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease over 10 years ago. During that time, I had the opportunity to observe many people in the caregiver field from direct caregivers to social workers to geriatric care managers. As they cycled in and out of our life, most meant well but fell short in some capacity. Then, three years ago, we struck gold and found Debra. She is professional, caring, and extremely attentive to our situation. She has helped us over so many of the bumps in the road as my wife's condition progressed. To put it succinctly, Debra Johnson is the consummate care manager". ~R, Berkeley CA
