If you’re noticing changes, you deserve a clear plan

Families in the Northern Shenandoah Valley often reach out after weeks or months of uncertainty—because dementia-related changes can be subtle at first, then suddenly feel urgent.

Our Dementia Care Checklist is meant to reduce that pressure by giving you a structured way to:

  • Observe what’s happening
  • Prioritize what matters most
  • Choose the right next step (medical + practical + emotional)

What the checklist helps you spot early

Safety concerns: wandering risk, driving concerns, falls, kitchen hazards
Daily function changes: meals, hygiene, meds, finances, appointments
Behavior shifts: agitation, sleep disruption, increased confusion late-day
Caregiver strain: burnout, resentment, exhaustion, constant “on call” feeling

A gentle next step that works

Use the checklist to pick one of these next steps:

  • Document patterns to share with a provider
  • Start routine support at home before a crisis
  • Add respite care so family caregivers can sustain the long haul
  • Connect with local education/support so you’re not doing this alone
