Call our Helpline now to speak with a Trained Specialist in your geographical area!

Due to the challenges of Alzheimer's disease, individuals are faced with tough situations and hard conversations. As the disease progresses, the family caregiver takes on increasing responsibilities. At the same time, the person with memory loss would like to maintain independence, and stay involved in care decisions. Discussions about money, health care decisions, legal issues, driving safety, treatments and future financing of care are all common areas of concern in Alzheimer's.

The Care Consultation program provides individualized guidance to families and individuals to address immediate needs and planning for the future, with ongoing support throughout the course of the disease.

Our professionals help families identify and respond to the challenges and changes of Alzheimer's; set individualized goals; help problem solve; and connect individuals to services and resources. They also provide practical advice, consumer information and disease education about how to manage care.

We seek to understand the history of the person who has Alzheimer's disease and to learn about their background, life story and current needs. Working with the family, a written plan of care is created to guide the family caregiver to practical solutions, and also build a stronger safety net of support.

Our goal is to optimize the health and function of the person with memory loss while maintaining the health and well-being of the caregiver and all involved.
