At RVNAhealth we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals living with dementia, as well as the impact it has on their caregivers and families. Our commitment to providing comprehensive support led us to develop the Dementia Education and Resource Program, a holistic continuum of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of those navigating the complexities of dementia.
    Education that Empowers

    Knowledge is a powerful tool, and our program begins with a strong emphasis on education. Our team, comprised of skilled professionals and discipline specialists, offers informative sessions designed to enhance understanding of dementia and equip patients and caregivers with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the challenge of dementia.  From the basics of  An Introduction to Dementia to the importance of nutrition, auditory skills, and exercise to advanced caregiving techniques, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

     Rehabilitation Therapy for Enhanced Well-Being

    Physical, occupational, and speech therapies play a vital role in promoting the well-being of individuals with dementia. Our program includes access to rehabilitation services, where our team of professionals – including physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech therapists – work collaboratively to address physical, cognitive, and communication challenges. These therapies are tailored to each patient’s unique needs, fostering independence and overall quality of life.

     Comprehensive Home Health Services & Caregivers

    Recognizing that every individual’s journey with dementia is unique, RVNAhealth provides a continuum of home health services to ensure personalized care. Our compassionate and highly trained nursing staff delivers visiting nurse care when prescribed by your physician or private duty nursing and private duty Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) caregivers that can provide round-the-clock support and assistance tailored to the specific needs of each patient. From medication management to daily living tasks, we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.
