I’m Mike Good of Together in This
My goal is always to empower you and your family to maintain a positive experience, reduce and eliminate the need for unnecessary medications, and make your time together with those you care for, the best it can be.
When you are considering moving a loved one with dementia into long-term care, it’s likely you have many, many questions about what it will be like for your loved one and for your family.
You’ve got hope that’s shrouded in mystery, maybe false beliefs and misconceptions that are engulfing you in fear of the unknown.
Not all dementia care communities are alike – some are great while others are less than stellar. But how do you cut through the sales pitch and determine if a community is right for your family?
In this episode of Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa, Christy Turner, who has been a Memory Care director, will share her insider knowledge with you to help you get the facts you need to make the best decisions possible.
