Dementia Consultations for Families and Care Partners
Is your loved one living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia, Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia (Primary Progressive Aphasia), Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, or Parkinson's Disease? All too often, an individual is given a diagnosis such as this and their families are told, "we will see you again in 6 months."
Lasting Language was born out of a desire to bridge this gap by providing education and compassionate support to family members and care partners as they cope with the cognitive and language changes that occur with these diseases. I am here to save you countless hours of research and meet the unique needs of you and your loved one. ​I will help you strategize through the challenges, preserve function, and be prepared to navigate all that comes with a dementia diagnosis.
