Dementia Counseling
Dementia diseases can be challenging for people with dementia and their relatives. Munich Alzheimer's Association has been supporting people with dementia and their relatives during the disease process since 1986. In addition, informing and sensitizing the society about dementia diseases and increasing the quality of life of people and families suffering from the disease form the basis of our work.
Dementia diseases not only cause memory problems, but also affect a person's behavior and personality. For this reason, it is very important for the relatives of people with dementia to benefit from counseling services and receive support. Because the person with dementia may not see that he/she is sick because of his/her illness, and this can cause problems in daily life. It is one of our main goals to be a companion to you during the disease process and to reduce your burden. That's why you can take advantage of our consultancy service whenever you need it.
You can come to our office for consultation. In addition, we have regular counseling services in some institutions that provide services to elderly people. If you wish, we can inform you about the disease as part of a home visit. Consultation is also possible via telephone, internet or e-mail.
We offer a variety of activities for people in the early stages of the disease:
- QiGong
- Memory exercise
- Picture group
- Music group
- Vacation
- Travel (city walk, museum, etc.)
In addition, in our solidarity groups, we provide the opportunity to communicate with people with dementia who are in a similar situation. Our groups are led by an expert.
Our volunteers, who have acquired comprehensive information about dementia diseases by participating in a special course, make a home visit once a week, taking into account the tastes and skills of the person with dementia, and offer pleasant moments to the person with dementia.We have online or face-to-face dementia courses for the relatives of people with dementia. In these courses, in addition to gaining basic information about the disease, you can also listen to some recommendations for facilitating communication with the patient and daily life. Services offered by the long-term care insurance, measures to be taken for the future and financial aid opportunities are among our seminar topics.
In addition to the seminars, we also have solidarity and chat groups for the relatives of people with dementia. Our groups are divided into two as spouses and children or relatives of people with dementia.
In order to understand the situation of people with dementia and their relatives, it is necessary to have information about the disease. With our public information meetings, seminars addressing institutions and voluntary courses, we aim to perceive dementia diseases by the society and to see the needs of people with dementia and their relatives.
You can participate in our 40-hour volunteer course and visit families and thus contribute to the reduction of the problems associated with dementia. We offer 9 € per hour to our volunteers for their service.
