A dementia coach is someone who supports individuals, families, and caregivers in navigating the challenges of dementia — offering guidance, education, and emotional support so that care can be more effective and less overwhelming.

Here’s what they typically do:

1. Education & Understanding
Explain what dementia is, how it progresses, and what changes to expect.

Share practical tips for communication and daily interactions with someone who has dementia.

Provide information on symptoms, behaviors, and coping strategies.

2. Care Planning & Problem Solving
Help families create a customized care plan tailored to the person’s abilities and needs.

Offer solutions for managing challenging behaviors (wandering, agitation, confusion).

Recommend ways to make the home environment safer and more supportive.

3. Resource Navigation
Connect families with community services, respite care, day programs, and support groups.

Provide guidance on legal, financial, and medical considerations (e.g., power of attorney, long-term care options).

4. Emotional Support
Offer one-on-one coaching sessions for caregivers to manage stress and prevent burnout.

Teach coping strategies for grief, guilt, or frustration.

5. Skill Building for Caregivers
Train caregivers in techniques for personal care, communication, and activity planning.

Coach families on balancing their own life with caregiving responsibilities.

6. Ongoing Guidance
Provide regular check-ins to adjust care plans as dementia progresses.

Be a trusted sounding board when new challenges arise.

A dementia coach is like a compass and guide. If this sounds like an area you and your loved ones could use some guidance and support with, reach out. We'd love to help. 403 809 1974 or info@proactiveseniors.ca
