The Living Well with Dementia Toolkit
Tools for Navigating Dementia
The Living Well with Dementia Toolkit offers practical tools for having conversations and developing action plans focused on quality of life, helping individuals and families live well with dementia.
Families experience dementia as a whole family*, affecting the routines, fears, hopes, and needs of everyone involved.
The Living Well with Dementia Toolkit helps providers facilitate conversations with families to express their feelings, concerns, and hopes. With this toolkit, we aim to help families build a shared roadmap to gain clarity and support, and to determine the best next steps.
*We use the term "families" to include biological or chosen families, expansive enough to include anyone the person living with dementia deems part of their closest inner circle.
Our toolkit focuses on six key areas that families encounter while navigating the complexities of dementia care:
The tools ensure that the person living with dementia, their caregivers, and their loved ones feel heard and supported in care decisions and daily life.
