Welcome to Dementia Care Hub where I share weekly videos with tips and strategies that you can use right away to make caring for a loved one with dementia easier.
I’m Dr. Kristen Galloway, a licensed occupational therapist and Certified Dementia Care Specialist. I own a private practice Florida where I help individuals with dementia remain independent and safe in their homes for as long as possible. I also provide caregiver training to make caregiving easier and less stressful for family caregivers.
I created Dementia Care Hub when I saw that there were so many family caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find resources to make caregiving simpler.
I hope you find my videos useful. Feel free to comment with suggestions for future video topics. Thanks for all you do as caregivers! It takes a lot of love, compassion, strength, and effort to provide care for someone with dementia. Hats off to you!

The cholinesterase inhibitors are one of the treatments for dementia. The Cholinesterase inhibitors work by boosting the chemical messages that has to do with memory and judgement.

How about experiencing pain, especially headaches and body aches?

[@dementiacarehub]

Pain is not usually identified as an early warning sign of dementia. But it is always a good idea to get headaches and body aches checked out by your healthcare provider.

These sound like later in dementia, not early signs. Maybe it depends on which type of dementia.

Thanks for your comment. The signs I shared here can be subtle in the early stages, but they are indications of cognitive impairment. With dementia the signs will become more apparent as time goes by.
