Navigating Senior Care: Your Partner in Transition
Hello, I’m Audrey, a Registered Social Worker dedicated to supporting families as they navigate the complexities of senior care. I understand firsthand how overwhelming it can be when a loved one needs assisted living, long-term care, or even just pre-transition support. It’s not just a logistical challenge; it’s an emotional one. That’s where I come in.
Understanding the Challenges of Transition
The move to assisted living or long-term care is a significant life change, not just for the senior but for the entire family. There are countless decisions to be made, from choosing the right facility to managing finances and adjusting to a new lifestyle. This process can bring up a whirlwind of emotions: grief, guilt, confusion, and anxiety. These are all normal reactions, and it’s important to have someone who understands this and can offer guidance.
How I Can Help
My role is to ease this burden by providing personalized support and practical solutions. I can assist with:
Pre-Transition Planning:
Exploring care options, understanding the financial implications, and preparing your loved one for the move.
Transition Support:
Helping your loved one adjust to their new environment, addressing their concerns, and advocating for their needs.
Family Support:
Providing emotional support, guidance, and resources to family members throughout the process.
Engagement for Individuals with Dementia/Alzheimer's:
I have experience creating and implementing engaging activities tailored to individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Respite for Caregivers:
Providing support and resources, including activity planning, so caregivers can take much-needed breaks and recharge.
My Experience with Alzheimer's and Dementia
I have a particular passion for working with older adults living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. I believe in fostering a sense of purpose and joy through engaging activities that stimulate their minds and bring them comfort. I also understand the toll that caregiving can take on partners and family members. Respite is crucial, and I can help you find ways to take care of yourself while ensuring your loved one receives the best possible care.
