Do you Care...?

Did you know that more than 53 million Americans provide care for someone? Family care partners are a backbone in our communities, and provide an estimated $600 billion, yes billion!, dollars worth of services to those they care for annually…many times while balancing jobs and raising families*.


The month of November is recognized as National Family Caregiver Month. While care partners are so important, and we feel they really need to be recognized and celebrated each day, next month is a time to really build awareness and appreciation around everything you do. The 2024 national theme through Caregiver Action Network is “I Care…”


You care. At the root of why you help to support someone, whether as a family care partner or even as a professional, is because you care. So, thank you. We need more people like you.


This care giving journey you are walking on can be difficult to navigate at times, especially if dementia, or another progressive diagnosis, is playing a role. We see you, and we are here to help you on your path. We have a lot of special events and conferences coming up that we hope you will be able to attend to add some more tools to your toolbelt. As always, we are a phone call, text, or email away! Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s dive in to this journey together.

Our Aging Brain: What is Typical? When to be Concerned?

What is normal and when should we be concerned? If thinking and memory problems arise, can it be something reversible? YES! Join us to find out more about the causes of these symptoms, what you can do to improve them, and how to know if it’s something more serious.

The Language of Dementia: And Finding Success

As care partners, we can find ourselves in communication snags with our loved one with dementia. Together we will untangle these challenging situations and explore new tools to help in your caregiving journey.

Progression of Dementia: What Skills Remain

Often the progression of dementia is measured in stages and focuses on lost skills, but this doesn’t give us the tools to provide care and support. The GEMS State Model will help you gain deeper insight into the experience of a person with brain changes and shift your support accordingly.

Can Happy Holidays and Dementia Co-Exist? Yes!

The holidays bring joy and stress. People living with dementia experience the season quite differently. Learn how to make simple adjustments that can result in a merrier experience for all.

The Fish Approach

This workshop focuses on communication strategies that build trust, understanding, and improves relationships between care partners and people living with brain changes. We will explore the communication snags that get us stuck in the weeds and how to adjust our responses by "getting in the water."
