Alzheimer's Family Consultations

As the designated Alzheimer's Day Care Resource Center for Napa County, our family consultation services are available to anyone in Napa County.

Napa Valley Hospice and Adult Day Services provides free family consultations to those who have concerns, questions or need guidance about a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other dementia.

Family consultations are performed by one of licensed social workers and can be provided on-site at our facility or in the family / caregiver's home. If family members are not local, a conference call can also be arranged.

Consultations are beneficial for all family members involved in the care of a loved one with Alzheimer's or other dementia diagnosis. The consultation provides:

• Better understanding of the disease process
• What to expect as the disease progresses
• "How To" tools - to ensure safely, improve communication, and manage challenging behaviors
• Education and training manual for caregivers
• Referrals to individual counseling providers free drop-in support groups, local respite care providers
• Access to our up-to-date resource library on Alzheimer's disease, related dementias, and brain health
• Referrals to other experts at Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers for more comprehensive work-ups, if needed or desired

These services are provided through a grant from the Area Agency on Aging.
