Kristina Blocker, a Granite Bay resident and owner of Silver Pathways, worked in geriatric psychiatry at a hospital for nine years before starting her own business (formerly known as Dementia Care Advisors) in October 2011. She made the transition because it seemed to her that families needed more help coping with a relative’s dementia or Alzheimer’s disease than did the patients themselves. “I decided to start a business with educating families on what to do and how to cope with dementia, and what to expect when the unexpected happens, how to communicate, that sort of thing,” she said. Blocker started working with Seniors First to provide consultations, assessments, care plans, workshops and support groups related to Alzheimer’s disease, and Seniors First now directs dementia-related calls to her. Blocker also tours different communities with a series of three workshops on the first, second and third Wednesday of each month – understanding the seven stages, caregiver stress, and then children of dementia, respectively.

This isn't just a 'brain fart,' it’s the brain struggling to connect concepts to words.
This is called Aphasia (language loss) and is a disorder that affects how you communicate. It can impact your speech, as well as the way you write and understand both spoken and written language. One of the causes of aphasia can be brought on by dementia.

We all have those moments walking into a room and forgetting why, or misplacing our glasses for the tenth time today. But when does "forgetting" become something more serious?

The biggest difference often lies in function, not just memory. As the saying goes:
"Forgetting where you put your keys is normal aging; forgetting what keys are for is a warning sign."

If it is Alzheimer’s, early intervention can help manage symptoms, and it also allows the individual to participate in their own legal, financial, and care planning while they still have the capacity.

Getting a diagnosis opens the door to support groups, clinical trials, and specialized resources that make the journey less lonely.

While the exact cause of "Sundowning" isn't fully understood, it is a common phenomenon in those living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s

It is often triggered by fading light, exhaustion, or changes in the body’s internal clock.

Common signs to look for are
increased agitation, sudden irritability, suspiciousness, or anxiety; increased confusion, and difficulty falling asleep or a desire to wander during the night.

We understand the challenges that come with evening transitions. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Need help? Please give us a call at 866-687-5413.

The holidays are filled with the sounds of laughter and conversation, but for those living with dementia, following a fast-paced chat can sometimes feel overwhelming.

However, have you ever noticed what happens when a favorite old song comes on?

The foot starts tapping. The humming begins. Sometimes, even the lyrics come flooding back.

Research shows that people with dementia often respond more powerfully to music than to spoken words. While the "language centers" of the brain may face challenges, the areas associated with musical rhythm and emotional memory are incredibly resilient.

We understand that care isn't just about safety, it’s about soul and that placement isn't about "moving away," it's about moving toward a life that hits all the right notes.

If you need assistance with a loved one, we are here to help. Give us a call at 866-689-5413.
