In-Home Dementia Care
Personalized physician-led, in-home care and support that factors in the unique challenges that families face when caring for a loved one with dementia.
Navigating the complexities of caring for a loved one with dementia can be frustrating and confusing. Whether your loved one is at home or in a facility–or you’re interested in bringing them home with optimal support–everyday care can be overwhelming. Finding medical professionals who understand your circumstances and are available when you need them can be even more challenging, leading to anxiety and panicked decisions.
How do you find the right help? What medications are really necessary? How do you support your loved one without sacrificing your own health or your sanity?
Imagine finding a team of experts who will listen to your concerns, honor your and your loved ones’ goals and wishes, and make themselves available to you 24/7 for questions and concerns that arise in this delicate and dynamic phase of life.
The Empowered Endings model of care focuses on creating a village of support for you and your loved ones, providing expert coordination of care, insight into the potential progression, and education about the options along the way.
We care, and we understand. We know where the gaps are and how to fill them so you feel heard, held, and whole throughout the journey.

Bob and Elizabeth are just very gentle souls. There was no pressure and shared with my wife Rachel and I the many options you have to consider. It felt just like someone putting their arms around you.
For us as a family, Bob and Elizabeth gave us the tranquility and support that we needed at that moment. It made a total difference in the way my Dad passed away. It allowed me to be the daughter and not a nurse.
