Navigating dementia with understanding and compassion

Understanding your loved one's journey

It's important to understand the disease process of dementia and to remember that the person you cherish is still there. We help families focus on the individual, creating a person-centred plan that allows your loved one to enjoy a good quality of life despite their diagnosis.

Addressing your deepest questions

Dementia brings many questions and often, a sense of loss. You might be asking: "How do I help my loved one?", "I've lost my sense of self," "What do I do now that my loved one is moving to long-term care?", "No one understands how I feel or what I'm going through." We're here to help you navigate these complex emotions and practical challenges.

Finding connection amidst change

The changes can be profound, leading to thoughts like: "This is not the person I married; where did my spouse go?", "This is not the mom or dad who raised me," or "Do they even know that I am still here?" We also address challenging behaviors, helping you understand that "why is my mom getting up at nights and telling me it's morning and refuses to go back to bed?" and other actions that may seem like a nuisance but are actually another form of communication.
