Expert advice backed by the latest research—for seniors and caregivers alike.
Over 60% of people with dementia will wander. This can be dangerous for elders who leave their home in the middle of the night without keys, a phone, or a form of identification – it’s why some caregivers have been known to sleep outside their elder’s bedroom. Fortunately, there are signs that indicate if your […]
As we’ve mention in previous posts, dementia is a cluster of symptoms – not a cause. Some of the symptoms are behavioral changes (e.g. mood swings), confusion/frustration, memory loss or forgetfulness, and in some cases impaired judgment. What causes dementia is any number of things. Some dementias are caused by taking the wrong drugs at […]
Samantha didn’t know she had Alzheimer’s Disease and neither did her family. They all thought something was off; something was wrong, but they couldn’t place their finger on it. She had had plenty of doctors’ appointments and checkups, but nothing in her medical history, blood tests, or physical exams showed any signs of dementia or […]

By: Heather Souve Remember when you were younger and having your head in the clouds, or being “absent-minded” was something that was regarded as a humbling and affectionate trait?

We’ll explain it a few ways so if one doesn’t make sense, hopefully another will! Dementia is a symptom, not a condition. You can […]

By: Mary Cordova If your loved one suffers from dementia, there’s a very real possibility that — at some point — you’ll no longer be able to communicate with them. There’s a flood of emotions that come with this, not the least of which is the frustration that you’ll never be able to know what […]
By: Kecia Lilly This is great news… but preceded by some bad news, but it’s okay, because we’ll finish this article strong. There’s a lot of funding being funneled into Alzheimer’s research – and for good reason. 44 million people (in the world) are suffering from dementia and by 2050 that number is expected to […]

Concierge Care Advisors.
My experience with Concierge Care Advisors was wonderful. Our advisor, Jennifer James could not have been more compassionate, concerned or committed. She was knowledgeable, kind and always accessible. She answered every question and worked tirelessly on our behalf navigating through a very complex and complicated medical infrastructure.
I’m not sure how we were connected with Concierge Care Advisors but we are thankful to the staff member at the hospital that passed our information along. We were connected with Kelsey and from the first conversation she was “on it!”. With in a week, she had identified and arranged for us to tour a handful of adult family homes. She was prompt returning phone calls and extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. The experience was beyond 5*.
We were really in a bad place with my mom, and Marta found just the right solution in a very timely manner. If it weren’t for Marta, all of our lives would be much worse. Thank you Marta for finding the big WIN WIN WIN.
