Services for Family & Friends
You are not alone. Help is Within Reach!
Dementia is not a journey meant to be traveled alone, although it can feel very lonely without the right support. Amanda will help you navigate the challenging terrain and prepare you for what is to come by raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and teaching you helpful techniques for supporting yourself and your loved one along the way.
SKillful Care Partner Classes
One comment Amanda frequently hears after leading a class is, "If only I had known this years ago." In the comfort and privacy of your own home (or location of your choosing), Amanda will help you gain a better understanding of how dementia is affecting your loved one and teach you some helpful techniques to encourage positive interactions. It can make all the difference in maintaining a healthy and loving relationship.
Classes:
-
What is Dementia?

Essential Skills Practice
Each class is approximately 1.5 - 2 hours long and designed to be taken in order from 1 to 5.
It is highly recommended to spread the classes out over five separate days in a time period of your choosing. As an example: one class per week (or whatever is best for you)
Cost per class (in-person): $150
Consultations

Need a break?
Amanda dedicates some of her time each week to offer dementia care partnering.
