Dementia

Care & Caregiver Training

We will work with you or your loved one to identify areas where there are difficulties with independent function in daily tasks. We can focus on maintaining and improving function through building a structured environment and routine. Interventions can include routine-based training for self care tasks, or environmental adaptation such as labeling doors, cabinets, etc to locate frequently used items.
