Consultations

A team of dementia care partners, led by Dr. McKay, provides one-on-one consultations with caregivers on a variety of concerns:

• Detecting early signs and pursuing thorough evaluation
• Understanding the diagnosis
• Adapting to a “new normal”
• Communicating for positive outcomes
• Onboarding friends and family
• Balancing the needs of more than one important person
• Resolving caregiving challenges
• Planning for the road ahead
• Identifying available services and resources
• Knowing legal and financial options
• Navigating care transitions
• Expanding your care team

We take the time to listen and offer guidance through family caregivers’ personal challenges. Together, we can gain a better understanding of what is behind any problem and collaborate on potential solutions. Armed with a good plan, caregivers are empowered to try new things in the care environment and return for ongoing problem-solving. Partnerships for Health’s consultants have assisted many through their toughest caregiving dilemmas. Our clients are becoming more adaptive caregivers—without sacrificing their own health in the process!

Heather McKay has a straightforward approach that communicates useful concepts that caregivers can put into practice. Her delivery style is motivating, and the information is right on.
