Living with dementia successfully

Does this sound familiar?

  • You are concerned that your client or loved one is lonely, bored, or isolated.
  • You are overwhelmed. Providing for your client’s or your loved one’s basic needs leaves little time to help them engage intellectually or socially.
  • You need help to engage your clients despite providing them with a range of supportive services.

Customer Reviews

“My client, a retired physician with dementia, was feeling stuck. She was bored and felt isolated. After working with the Hummingbird Therapeutic Activity Specialist, she had a breakthrough. Now she feels she has a sense of purpose.”

“I am over-the-top thrilled with these reports and signs of progress! I vehemently defended her right to a better life to her doctors in early December when they wanted to write her off. She is reacting exactly as I hoped, given the encouragement she needed! I literally could do a dance!”

“Our Hummingbird Project Activity Specialist’s visits bring joy to the client’s life and stimulate her mind. She seems more relaxed and happier, and the client’s daughter is reassured by the regular reports and knowledge that an additional caring person is interacting with her mother.”
