The information she provides to families is support and education, to those people who have loved ones who they believe are showing any signs of Dementia, which Alzheimers is a branch of. She will do house calls, coffee dates anywhere that the family feels comfortable to discuss the changes and needs of a loved one who is having difficulty with a form of dementia.

One important piece of information is the availability of a Representation Agreement which is a document that legally allows you to have someone(s) you know and trust to be available to manage your affairs if you are are ill, injured or disabled. Representation Agreement
