Description

How Can Rehabilitation Therapy Benefit Dementia Care?
In this episode, we have three rehabilitation professionals joining us: Cindy, who is a physical therapist, Christina, who is a speech therapist, and me, an occupational therapist. Together, we discuss how rehabilitation therapy can benefit individuals living with dementia and their family caregivers.
We explore the impactful role of rehabilitation therapy in dementia care. The episode offers valuable insights into how physical, occupational, and speech therapies can significantly aid those living with dementia.
Cindy and Christina founded AECorner in 2015 because they saw too many seniors struggling every day to care for themselves. The majority of their clients have the same goal and that is to remain as independent as possible in their homes. Many times, this goal can be achieved by simply having the right tools. 
AECorner.com is a trusted resource for family caregivers looking for equipment and techniques to help senior loved ones safely age in place and help caregivers work smarter and not harder while providing daily care.
AECorner’s mission is to increase senior and caregiver safety during daily care and to improve and maintain the individual’s highest level of functional independence at home.
