Special planning needs of early stage individuals
Care Consultation
Care Consultation provides support, solution-focused care planning and referral to community and chapter services for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. It is aimed at those care givers who are overwhelmed by stress and exhaustion, have difficulty finding services, are confused about symptoms and care giving and/or face complicated family problems.

Enrollment Programs for Wandering
At some point during the disease 70% of people with a diagnosis will wander. While this may not be a concern for you yet, a wandering response service, such as MedicAlert® with 24/7 Wandering Support, can provide you with greater independence for a longer period of time while offering peace of mind for your family and friends.
