Too often, clients shared that they wish they had learned what they would learn later in their journey but much earlier, expressing how key insight on the dementia experience would have improved their overall dementia journey.
This brand-new workshop was designed by AST social workers in collaboration with caregivers, people experiencing cognitive changes, and various dementia specialists to offer key insight at the start of the dementia journey for the care partner.
Our experience tells us that the earlier you know what you know, the better you are.
Topics Discussed:
- Getting your affairs in order
- Accessing the Specialists
- Getting an official diagnosis
- Dementia Medications
- Communicating Concerns with your doctor
- All about getting in-home support
- Three Types of Supportive Living Environments
- Respite Programs
- Financial Support
- Maximizing Your Health
- Adjust to the New Normal
- Living with Daily Risk
- Insider Dementia Wisdoms
- Care Partner Realities
- The person diagnosed – Their realities
A survey will be sent to the members after the workshop to get their feedback.
