Summary

Have you ever heard of a certified senior advisor? Would you even know what you needed or how to find one? You're not alone if the answer is no — and there are clear steps you can take to get the right help at the right time. We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, we understand how overwhelming it can be to recognize when something has changed and know where to turn next. We're sharing insights from Cynthia Perthuis, principal owner of Senior Care Authority in Southwest Florida and a certified senior advisor, about finding, evaluating, and implementing solutions along the caregiving journey. If you're following along with the Navigating Dementia Caregiving Roadmap, this aligns with Step Eight . You can find the roadmap as a downloadable digital guide on the guides page of our website, and we've also created it as an interactive page where you can click directly into each step. Let's explore three essential tips for navigating this process — from recognizing when something is wrong, to finding the right help, to building a strategy that works for your whole family.
