The dementia expert your doctor doesn't have time to be.
Good outcomes don't happen by accident. They happen because someone knows what to plan for and the right information to make the hard decisions. That is what Maine Dementia Partners does: we give you the information you need to make the crucial decisions for your loved one.
What if you're making impossible decisions with no one to call?
Maine Dementia Partners is who you call. Marjorie Hunt, NP, an Adult-Gerontological Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of dementia care experience, walks alongside families through the medical, behavioral, and end-of-life decisions that no one prepares you for. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
The facility keeps calling and saying my mother is getting aggressive when they redirect her. I'm not sure what that means.
My father's neurologist ordered an MRI, but my father is refusing. Does he still need this done?
My father keeps getting sent to the ER from his Memory care facility. It seems to be for small things, but I know these transfers are really hard on him. Is there any way we don't have to do this?
My brother is in memory care and seems withdrawn. He doesn't smile or enjoy visits, and he declines to go out with me. What can I do? Is this how it will be?
My mother cries when she calls me and asks me to come home. The facility is upset because she keeps trying to help other residents and staff with their work. She thinks she works at the facility, and she enjoys housework. What can I do?
I care for my husband with dementia, and it has been going well, but recently things have been different. He becomes angry and frustrated quickly. What can I do?
A nurse practitioner in your corner, who knows every setting your loved one may face.
I'm a Nurse Practitioner who has spent her career working inside nursing homes, memory care facilities, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers. I've been the provider in the room for the tough conversations. I know how these systems operate and exactly what to say to get the right care for yourself or your loved one.
I started Maine Dementia Partners because people living with dementia deserve dignity, stability, and protection from avoidable harm at every stage of the disease.
