WHY HIRE A DEMENTIA CARE COACH?
Dementia progression and symptoms can be as diverse as the individual experiencing it. Many symptoms manifest similarly; however, they often need to be handled differently. One needs to consider the individual's traits, the stage of their progression, and the specifics of the immediate situation.
Enlisting the help of a dementia expert who educates, encourages, and works with you along the journey can be one of the best investments a family can make.
