When caring for someone with Dementia, otherwise easy tasks like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and organizing paperwork can feel suddenly overwhelming.
An advocate can make the calls, manage the appointments, and keep records organized so you can focus on what matters most: spending quality time with your loved one.
Managing dementia is more than just treating symptoms. It’s physically demanding, emotionally taxing, and requires constant care. It can require multiple doctors, therapists, and often in-home help.
An experienced care advocate can serve as your central point of contact, helping you overcome each challenge as it arises. They’ll keep doctors coordinated, ensure you have the best medical equipment, and even connect you to local dementia support groups.
Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel confusing, frustrating, and isolating. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. Having someone to talk to, someone who really gets it, can make all the difference.
Your Solace advocate understands what you’re going through and will be there to listen when you need them most. They can be a shoulder to lean on when times get hard and a voice of reason when nothing makes sense.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
When someone you love gets dementia, you're suddenly dealing with memory clinics, geriatric specialists, and memory care facilities. It's a lot to figure out with little guidance. A Solace Dementia advocate helps you understand this new world. They explain what different doctors do and why your loved one needs various tests—all in plain language.
Your advocate researches dementia resources in your community. This includes adult day programs, specialized home care services, and memory care facilities with strong dementia expertise. They handle appointment scheduling, insurance verification, and medical record transfers. This frees up your time and energy for what matters most—spending quality time with your loved one. Instead of drowning in paperwork and phone calls, you can focus on being present with your family member.
Dementia caregiving changes as the condition gets worse. Your loved one needs different types of care at different stages, and it's hard to know what's coming next. Solace advocates help you plan ahead with care plans that adapt as needs change. They also help protect your own wellbeing as a caregiver.
Your advocate researches care options for each stage of dementia. They explain the differences between in-home companions, adult day programs, and memory care communities. Your advocate helps you spot the signs that it might be time for a care change. This protects your loved one's safety and your own health. Instead of waiting for emergencies, you can make thoughtful decisions that work for both the person with dementia and the family caregivers.
Caring for someone with dementia is physically and emotionally exhausting. Without the right support, caregivers often burn out. Solace advocates help you create sustainable caregiving patterns that protect your health while caring for your loved one.
Your advocate researches respite care options in your area. This includes in-home companion services, adult day programs, and short-term residential stays. They help you build daily routines that include regular breaks and self-care activities. These breaks are essential for maintaining your wellbeing. Instead of wearing yourself out completely, you can create balanced care arrangements. Your needs matter just as much as the person with dementia's needs.
Watching your loved one's memory and thinking abilities decline while taking on more care responsibilities creates special challenges. Many caregivers face these stresses alone. Solace advocates help you build emotional support networks and coping strategies that keep you strong through this difficult journey.
Your advocate connects you with dementia-specific caregiver support groups. In these groups, you can share experiences with others who truly understand what you're going through. Your advocate helps you find healthy ways to manage stress and process grief. Dementia creates a unique kind of loss—your loved one is still here, but they're changing. This emotional support acknowledges that dementia caregivers face deep psychological challenges alongside the daily care tasks. It creates spaces where you can process these feelings and maintain the strength to keep providing compassionate care.
