Consultants Specializing in Alzheimer’s & Dementia
If you are a family caregiver of people with Alzheimer’s, we are here to help you.
We at Thoughtful Hospitalization™ offer workshops for the families and caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s.
We have helped close the gap between the prevalence and detection of cognitively impaired patients for over ten years.
Persons living with dementia frequently have other chronic illnesses—and their problems with thinking can make managing these conditions even more of a challenge. A trip to the hospital, planned or unplanned, with a person who has a memory disorder can be difficult to manage and risky.
Thoughtful Hospitalization™ is a new 90-minute workshop for caregivers of persons with dementia to help you prepare for both unexpected and planned hospital visits and to prepare for transitions in care. Now available online and in a train the trainer version.
What do we know empirically about these risks, and how can we reduce them?
How can we be prepared for the trip to the emergency department or an inpatient stay? What information and knowledge are needed for acute care?
After an acute stay, what information needs to come back with the patient? How do we prepare ourselves emotionally and otherwise to deal with a less able person coming home?
The Thoughtful Hospitalization™ workshop strives to increase awareness of the special circumstances faced by caregivers both during and after the hospitalization of an individual living with dementia. Analysis of the pre and post scores from our pilot group indicated that there was a significant increase in the knowledge associated with the process of hospitalization as it relates to individuals living with dementia, with participants getting an average 1 more item correct on the post-knowledge survey.
