Family Dementia Care

Available Online

Family dementia care consulting is a non-medical service. No medical advice will be offered and Amy is not permitted to diagnose or prescribe medications during these consultations. If Amy recognizes that a loved one is having severe psychiatric symptoms, she will recommend urgent medical care to rule out infection, illness, or injury.

During an initial consultation, Amy will meet with family members on Google Meet to comprehensively understand your family's unique situation. The initial session will also serve as an educational opportunity, where Amy will provide vital information to help families navigate the complexities of dementia. Amy will help make sense of the confusing changes your family has been navigating and will teach strategies for supporting loved ones in a way that maintains their dignity no matter their level of capacity. Following the initial consultation, Amy will formulate a personalized care plan tailored to your family's needs. The care plan will include:

• Insight about your family's dementia journey.

• Guidance on communication and support strategies.

• Safety recommendations for the physical and social environments.

• Guidance for respite care, including home care support, VA services, long-term care insurance, Medicaid considerations, and care facility options.

• Guidance for guardianship, conservatorship, power of attorney (POA), and advance directive documents.

Because conversations about dementia can impact the dignity of loved ones, leaving them with anxiety they are unable to manage, Amy recommends that loved ones are not included in family dementia consultations.
