Caring for individuals with dementia presents a complex array of challenges, deeply affecting both caregivers and the patient. The dementia journey involves a support network, access to resources, and professional assistance to navigate the complex landscape of dementia care effectively.

Dementia is an umbrella term used for more than 120 specific diagnoses of degenerative conditions that are characterized by the progressive decline in cognitive function, significant memory impairment, reasoning, communication abilities, and the performance of daily activities. Alzheimer's Disease, Vascular Dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) are the most diagnosed forms of dementia.

One of the primary challenges in dementia care is the unpredictability of the condition. Symptoms can fluctuate dramatically, presenting a moving target for caregivers who must constantly adapt to changing needs. This variability can make education and care-planning exceedingly difficult, as the strategies that were effective one day may prove futile the next.

Paths provides professional dementia caregivers a robust and easy-to-use online platform that provides for accessible education, clear communication, and straightforward care coordination for family and care-partners. When you create a Path for your patient and their support network, you’re providing a manageable journey that can greatly reduce the considerable emotional and physical burden placed on caregivers.

Dementia care is a multifaceted challenge that demands a great deal of understanding, patience, adaptability, and emotional strength. Paths will help make that journey more manageable one step at a time through a higher quality of connection with care-partners and evidenced-based engagement.
