Care Planning 1,2,3
I don't know where to start... I am in over my head... It's one crisis after another...I wish I had done this sooner...
You care for a loved one with dementia. No one taught you how. You do your best, but it’s extremely difficult. Naturally, you can feel overwhelmed, knowing that the next crisis is just around the corner: “He can’t live on his own anymore.” “Mom can’t stay in our home.” “My husband can’t remember my name.”
It’s very much like walking into a dark room, knowing that you’re going to bump into something. What if someone could turn on the light and guide you through all of the obstacles? That someone is a Dementia Care Coordinator.
Dementia Care Coordinator
Your Price & Price Dementia Care Coordinator is your friend and advocate. She is someone who is there for you, someone who can help you deal with the difficult issues and get the care you want for your loved one. What a relief it is to have a professional – one who has done this many times before – help you with crucial decisions!
3 Steps to Success
We know a great deal about the disease – whether it’s Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke or vascular dementia. Our job is to figure out where you are right now, where you need to go, map out the steps, and then help you get there.
- The Assessment
Your dementia care coordinator will get to know you, your loved one, and your family. She will then consider your current situation and determine any help that you might need immediately.
- The Care Plan
How to ensure the best quality of life today and tomorrow? A care plan answers this question and helps you anticipate and prepare for what’s next. With it, you begin to feel in control.
- Care Management
When it’s time to make choices and take action, you no longer have to go it alone. Our professionals guide you every step of the way.
