Based on the latest clinical and research evidence of what works best for people with dementia, it is a holistic approach that brings together medical and behavioral interventions, practical advice on how to cope with challenging behaviors, emotional support, and professional guidance tailored to your situation.

 This is why our dementia family coaching at “You and Me Aging” is the missing ingredient you have been searching for; dementia coaching can help you shed some of the burden of care that comes with this dementia journey and transform the caring experience from stressful and heavily laced with anxiety to a positive and hopeful one.

Why Dementia Family Coaching Can Be Your Lifeline?

The reality is that caring for someone with dementia is difficult. It’s a marathon in a maze constantly changing direction. Knowing about the benefits of dementia coaching services can make a difference to families caring for a family member with dementia.

 Family members are equally thrust into the unknown, frequently with no preparation or training for all the general advice and tools now available online.

Strengthening Family Bonds with Dementia Family Support Support

Dementia is more about relationships than the disease itself, and it can bring out the best and the worst in families. It raises some tricky issues and all too often tensions increase. Specialist support, such as dementia coaching, can provide families with the tools they need to cope more effectively and keep the family together.

The coaching empowers them to reduce their stress and to have those crucial, but difficult, conversations without the risk of conflict getting out of control.

Dementia coaching helps families communicate their fears and concerns in a non-confrontational manner (eg, instead of worrying about whether Mom is safe while driving, they can sink into their anxieties about whether Mom will be safe when she falls and injures herself).

 Such care also celebrates the power of presence and support: of moments of connection, to spend time touching or smiling. In the face of an inevitable decline.

 In the end, dementia coaching brings services to the family and helps them deal with the pressures of caring by focusing on the relationships, promoting better communication, caring, shared activities and experiences, so that they stay connected, allowing them to share the journey together as they live with dementia.

A Holistic Approach to Dementia Care

What’s different about the dementia family coaching programme at You And Me Aging is that it is not about just managing symptoms or getting through each day. It’s about transforming the experience of aeing and caregiving. And as every family is different, we help you with individualized care plans that go beyond the basics.

 In our dementia coaching programs at You and Me Aging: what can families do to help an aging loved one who is sad, and how can they manage difficult behavior? But the emotional component is just as important: the reality is that, if we want to help others, we need support for ourselves as carers.

Self-care, an often-ignored but key element when it comes to preventing burnout and maintaining sustainable care over the long term, is also core to our holistic approach. The program is as much about sharing knowledge as it is about creating a community based on the fact that caring for a loved one means prioritizing care for oneself as well.
