Dementia care
Dementia care in this practice is occupational therapy at home. The visit looks at the routine that is breaking down, the rooms that are no longer safe, and what a caregiver can change without a fight.
Who this helps
- Bathing, meals, or medications are becoming a struggle
- Wandering, falls, or the stove are a worry
- A caregiver is exhausted and needs a simpler day
- You want the person to keep doing what they still can
What a visit includes
- A look at the real morning and evening routine
- Safety changes in the kitchen and bathroom
- Activities that still make sense for this person
- Coaching for the caregiver, written in plain language

Questions
Do you diagnose dementia?
No. Diagnosis stays with the physician. Occupational therapy works with the daily problems the diagnosis creates.
Will you take over care?
No. Visits are scheduled occupational therapy. They are not a home-health aide or 24-hour care.
