Dementia Family Coaching

When a family member or loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia, it can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate a path forward. A Family Coach provides caregiver and family education, counseling and support to help families plan for the future, while living successfully in the present.

Our Family Coach meets with clients and families to understand their current situation, challenges, questions and concerns. She helps care partners and families understand the disease process, and often answers the question, "why are they doing that?!". While families' needs vary, their vast training and experience enables them to quickly hone in on a problem and collaborate for solutions.

Families often meet with their coach several times—in person, virtually, or in-home where available— to navigate the family's unique challenges and co-develop creative strategies for the person with dementia, their loved ones, as the disease progresses. The Family Coach excels at getting to the heart of an issue quickly, and re-focusing on practical solutions for the individual and the family.

Role of a Family Coach:

  • Helps families better understand the disease
  • Cultivates an environment to maximize the diagnosed person's independence
  • Creates strategies to minimize symptoms
  • Restores a sense of normalcy in the home to the extent possible
  • Recommends measures that meet home safety requirements
  • Designs a setting to reduce stress, anxiety, and guilt
  • Provides support and structure in dealing with the disease
  • Develops solutions to on-going, dementia-related problems
  • Increases caregiver confidence through education
  • Facilitates discussions around changing care needs and options available to families
  • Creates teamwork among family members and the caregiver
  • Provides objective feedback and guidance

Testimonials

Thank you so much for the loving care and compassion you showed to our mother and to us during her stay and death. We know, she was not the most compliant person, buy you showed her the same loving care no matter what. We were blessed to have her in your care. You are truly all angels. Thank you again!

Ann

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful care you gave my dad the last 5 1/2 months of his life. If he couldn’t be at home with my mother, you were the next closest thing.

Barbara

Thanks to the staff for your ongoing care of my Dad. Your patience, kindness and caring for Dad help my Mom and I rest easy knowing he is in good hands at all times. Thanks for everything you do for him!

Thank you also for the very touching and beautiful memorial service and luncheon honoring Mom and Dad. It meant a lot to us to have all of you share your remembrances of them.

Marianne & family

We greatly appreciate all that you have done for my Dad and for us. Your compassion, dedication, and gentle ways were a tremendous help. No one ever said to us, “It will be okay,” instead you said “We’ll help you.”

Alzheimer’s and dementia are formidable foes and they strip the individuals stricken of all of their dignity, yet you and your staff work diligently to reinstate the dignity and you do it quite successfully.

This is to thank you and all the Kemper staff who organized the memorial service last Friday. The content was perfectly appropriate and many of the participants expressed compliments to the kitchen staff for the great luncheon.
