Our Mission
Families typically contact me when they are challenged and overwhelmed by their elderly loved one’s need for more attention and care.
Typically, the loved one is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease or other type of dementia, depression, anxiety, agitation, Parkinson’s Disease or another mental or biological condition. Clients are coached on what to expect and how to cope as their loved one experiences a downward shift of health.
I help ease stress and provide overall relief by providing direction, resources and solutions to improve quality of life for everyone. My clients experience peace of mind knowing there will be a roadmap they can follow to meet the immediate and long-term needs of their loved one and to escape their own feelings of overwhelm.
The decision making process can be emotionally challenging when multiple family members are included. As a trained facilitator, I offer family group discussions to provide a calm, reality-based approach in a safe space for each member to honestly share personal fears, motives, hopes and goals for their loved one and for their own role in helping the loved one. Holding family meetings allows all members to share their feelings and concerns. Current challenges lead to open conversation for solutions and care options.
