Elderly Care Counseling

Dealing with an aging or sick loved one often result in difficult and stressful situations for families. Some examples include:

• Has someone in your family been diagnosed with Dementia?
• Are you considering placement of a loved one in assisted living, board and care or skilled nursing facility?
• Are you a caregiver to someone in the family who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
• Are you feeling overwhelmed, guilty and unsure of what to do?

I have experience working in the geriatric field. And, more importantly, I have personally faced this very situation in my own family. My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I was a part of her care giving team and helped my family to develop a plan of action. It is a heart wrenching, difficult, guilty feeling, emotionally, physically, and spiritually draining experience.

There are resources and coping skills to learn to help you do more than just "survive the experience." These resources and skills will help you and those around you better cope with the tough issues of aging.

You do not have to go through this alone. Call to schedule your appointment for effective counseling today at 949.510.9423 or contact us.
