Introducing care as symptoms progress is often helpful to encourage acceptance of outside support from a caregiver.

Just as individuals are unique, the approach to introducing care should consider various factors. We can assist families to introduce the concept in a way that will be most appealing to the individual based on their personal needs and goals. For example: “Dad we know it’s been hard for you since you stopped driving- we think you’d enjoy having a driver a few days a week so that you can still go to your lunches with friends.” You do not need to come up with the approach alone, call us for a free phone consultation and in person Care Case Manager visit.
