Interventions include but are not limited to: development of visual aids to assist individuals with completion of daily tasks, use of strategies to facilitate recall of information as well as environmental modifications to improve safety at home.
Consultations are provided to caregivers to improve relationships, decrease stress and prevent caregiver burnout. Caring for a loved one with dementia is challenging, both physically and emotionally.
