Are you wondering what stage of dementia your person is really in (& that means for the future)?
On Thursday, October 22nd at 7:30pm EDT, I'm hosting a Members Only Workshop called "What Stage of Dementia Are We In?”
I’ll walk you through:
The major types of dementia
How LONG is each stage last on average
How each one tends to progress
How to tell where your person is right now
What to get ready for next
I’ll also answer the questions caregivers ask me most, like:
Whether a new behavior is just the dementia
Why they can do something one day and not the next
How fast this is going to move
When a sudden change means it’s time to call the doctor.
Stop guessing what’s happening to your person and start planning for what comes next before it turns into a crisis.
Stop wondering what's coming next and start focusing on keeping them clean, safe and comfortable.
This workshop is for caregivers who want to learn:
How the most common types of dementia differ, from Alzheimer’s to vascular, Lewy body and frontotemporal, so you can understand why your person’s symptoms may not look like what you’ve read and stop comparing their journey to someone else’s.
What usually changes in the early, middle and late stages, including the one clear sign that marks each transition, so you can see where your person is right now and plan for the care they’ll need next before you’re facing a crisis.
Why your person can do something one day and not the next, and what’s really behind the confusing behaviors that show up along the way, so you can stop taking it personally and respond in a way that actually helps.
How to tell an expected part of dementia from a new symptom that needs medical attention, like a sudden change in confusion that could be an infection or a medication problem, so you can call the doctor when it matters instead of waiting it out or second guessing yourself.
The Workshop Will Consist Of:
A live Zoom presentation where you can volunteer your own situation or watch as I walk through real examples, so you can figure out where your person is on your own afterward.
A simple roadmap of what to do at each stage, so you know exactly what to put in place now and what to have ready for later.
Opportunities to bounce ideas off other caregivers with a breakout rooms session at the end (usually for 15 minutes after the hour-long main session has ended.)
A questions & answers session where any questions you have will be answered.
Clear, simple guidance so you can stop feeling lost about what’s happening and start feeling confident about what to do next.

Special Bonus:
3 Cheatsheets included with your purchase:
Dementia Transitions, Stages & What to Expect Cheatsheet
Pinpoint whether your person is in the early, middle or late stage using the one clear sign that marks each transition, so you can stop guessing where they are and start planning for what’s next.
Know who to call when late stage needs show up, from a speech therapist for swallowing trouble to hospice when they’re refusing food and sleeping most of the day, so you get the right help the first time.
Keep communicating once language is mostly gone by showing with your body and everyday objects, so you can still reach them in the late stage.
Dementia Caregiver Timeline
See what to put in place at each stage, from legal and financial paperwork while your person can still sign it to home safety changes as wandering or falls start to show up, so you’re not scrambling to catch up after something goes wrong.
Know roughly how long each stage tends to last and the signs that mean it’s time to add help, like respite care, in-home care or a move to memory care, so you can plan ahead instead of letting a crisis decide for you.
Mark when to line up support for yourself along the way, from a caregiver support group to regular breaks, so you can keep going for the long haul without burning out.
Types of Dementia at a Glance Cheatsheet
Compare Alzheimer’s, vascular, Lewy body and frontotemporal dementia side by side, from the first signs to how each one tends to progress, so you can finally make sense of the diagnosis your person was given.
Know which symptoms are typical for your person’s type, like hallucinations with Lewy body or personality changes with frontotemporal, so a new behavior doesn’t blindside you or send you searching online at midnight.
Bring the right questions in for the type of dementia they have.
