Is your father forgetting? Deal with the signals in time.

He'll probably need your support and care.

How do you do that?

Medical evaluation - Are you noticing that your father is forgetting more and more often? Get your father a specialized neurology or gerontopsychiatry evaluation. Once the correct diagnosis is confirmed, further treatment steps and interventions can be better planned. Diagnosis and adjustment of medical care, including medications, regular check-ups and therapies, can help slow the progression of the disease and alleviate symptoms.

Long-term care - Discuss with professionals your father's long-term care options (home care, nursing home care, respite care, etc.).

Legal matters - Get all legal documents in order, such as a will, power of attorney, life planning, advance health care plans and estate care plans. Verify that they are current and valid. Don't be afraid to contact a lawyer who specializes in probate and estate planning issues.

Finances - Take care of all financial matters. Since your father is forgetful, you need to take charge of everything from paying the bills, to managing the estate, to making sure there are sufficient funds needed for his care.

Family support - Involve other family members or friends in your father's care. If you can, it will help and take the pressure off.

Self-care - Don't forget about your own well-being and health. When Dad forgets, he needs your 100% concentration. And that is physically and emotionally demanding. Find time to rest, take care of yourself and seek your own support.

Communication - Open and regular communication with doctors, care providers and other important people involved in your father's care is guaranteed to help.

We've listed just a few key steps to consider when your father develops some form of dementia. But every situation is unique, so your care plan must be tailored to your family's specific needs and circumstances.

Answers to the most common questions

Anyone dealing with the care of a loved one can contact us. We accompany individuals, couples and entire families. Our approach is individual, so it depends on the specific situation and needs of the client.

You can find us in Prague. We provide our services in the whole territory of the Capital City of Prague and its surroundings. We can come to your home, place of residence or you can come to our premises. We are not opposed to any other place of your choice. And if it is not possible to meet in person, we will establish cooperation over the phone and look for ways to make arrangements. We also work online.

The initial telephone interview is free of charge. Subsequently, the client pays based on the provided service either individual consultations - 900 CZK/hour or in case of longer-term cooperation we agree on the so-called package price. This is tailored to the client's needs.

You can contact us via the web contact form and we will call you back to arrange an initial consultation. Together we will map out your needs and offer possible scenarios for further cooperation and outline available sources of assistance. Consultations take place in person at our premises, at your home, at work or by phone or online.

We enter into cooperation after a common agreement and with precisely specified services. We offer you accompaniment in the care of your loved one for as long as it is needed. Our care can be long term and flexible depending on what is happening and what you need. We are available for times when care is purely up to you, but we also look for formal support options. Should your loved one pass away, we are ready and qualified to accompany you through the grieving period as well. This too makes sense to us.
