Alzheimer's coaching is for families wanting to gain the skills and knowledge to manage Alzheimers disease in the home setting. This is a two hour session. Follow-up visits are arranged per individual request.

Many families also find coaching and education helpful when they are trying to determine if it is time to make a move to an Assisited Living or Skilled Nursing facility. These decisions are very difficult, adding to the stress the family caregiver is already experiencing. Working with a professional during this very difficult time can be quite beneficial in learning to map the maze of the health care system.

Each Training Includes:

• A Needs Assessment/Evaluation
• A Home Safety Evaluation
• Caregiver Education
  • Disease Overview
  • Communication Techniques
  • Behavior Management
  • Medication Management
  • Personal Care Techniques
  • Recommendations for Activities
• Identification of Community Resources
• Recommendations for Care

An easy to use training guide is provided to each family detailing the information covered in the visit.
