COMPANION | DEMENTIA & ELDER COMPANIONSHIP

When someone we love is living with dementia, we experience many small and painful losses even before the end of their life draws near.

Our relationship with them changes, often in ways that feel confusing and heartbreaking.

You may find yourself carrying more than feels possible: navigating their daily care needs, advocating for them with other providers, and trying to understand their preferences as communication becomes more limited.

And if you are also caring for children or other family members alongside this, the weight can feel overwhelming.

I offer companion visits designed to lighten this load.

I meet your parent or your spouse exactly where they are, engaging with them in a way that is respectful, and attuned to who they are in this moment.

These visits offer a sense of steadiness and connection. For caregivers, this offers a much needed respite - to step away, to rest, or tend to other responsibilities, knowing their loved one is in kind and attentive company.

For the person living with dementia, these visits bring a sense of rhythm and familiarity to their days — a calm, steady presence that helps them feel more at ease in a world that can sometimes feel unfamiliar or disorienting.
