“You made a tremendous difference in my life—and therefore my mother’s.

“My consultant is very good at explaining things—she helped me so
much.”
“______ (care manager) has been a godsend for us. She has helped us sort
through the sea of issues and choices regarding dementia care for our mom with
professionalism, knowledge, grace, and genuine caring. We are grateful for her
help.”
“I am so glad you came into my life. I admire
your patience and cool demeanor. I feel my problems are
on a much smaller level after our visit.”
“I will be looking at contacting one of the
organizations you suggested to see if I can get someone
to check in on Mom so I can run away from home the first
weekend in January. You were right, making some plans to get
away is helpful. And it's nice to have someone checking
up on me... at least I don't feel like I've fallen off
the edge of the earth.” |

How we help
A daughter caring for her mom with Alzheimer’s Disease...
A daughter caring for her mom with Alzheimer’s Disease was feeling
overwhelmed and depressed because her mom would only accept help from her
and was quite demanding. She needed to work but couldn’t. The family
consultant helped her set some goals that would help improve her situation.
After six weeks, the daughter had seen a physician about her depression
and was put on an antidepressant, joined a support group about setting
boundaries, made a list of activities she enjoyed and attempted to do at
least one each day, and tried being more positive with her mom. With a
more positive attitude, her mom was more accepting of outside help and
the daughter was able to seek employment.

A forward-thinking gentleman who has no local family and a limited
support system asked for an assessment so that, should he need assistance
in the future, he’d have an agency connection. With an upcoming outpatient
surgery, he needed some help afterwards. Instead of doing an assessment,
the care manager gave him some resources related to the surgery. He called
at a later date and requested some help in considering a move. The care
manager researched places that might fit his preferences. He toured
them and now has ready options when he is ready to move. He has
established a relationship with the care manager and is secure in knowing
someone understands his situation and can advise him as his needs
change.
