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.

Full review from Erin Hunt:

"When our family learned my aunt was experiencing dementia, we felt completely overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Then we found Silver Pathways, and everything changed.

From the very first conversation, Kristina was a light in a very confusing time—kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to truly listen and understand our family’s situation, then helped us create a thoughtful care plan tailored specifically to my aunt’s needs.

Kristina’s knowledge and expertise went far above and beyond anything we had ever experienced. She guided us with compassion, honesty, and remarkable insight, always making sure we felt supported and informed.
Thanks to Silver Pathways and Kristina’s care, my aunt received the attention she deserved, and gave our family peace of mind. We are forever grateful to have found her."

Thank you Erin for this glowing review! The commitment to helping others goes beyond my job, it’s part of who I am, and it brings me great joy to help.

They call it "comic relief" for a reason! Whether it’s a creative new nickname or a family story that gets more "legendary" with every retelling, memory mix-ups can bring unexpected moments of pure joy.

It’s okay to laugh; in fact, it’s necessary. These moments are reminders that even when memories fade, our connection doesn’t have to.

This holiday season, cherish the unscripted magic. As you gather with loved ones, embrace the quirky, celebrate the small joys, and hold onto the laughter that brings us all closer together.

But seriously, if you need help with a loved one with memory issues, we can help. Contact us at (866) 689-5413.

The Visiting Advantage: Seeing What Others Miss

When a family member sees a loved one every day, gradual changes in memory or routine often go unnoticed; it's a common blind spot.

As the visitor you remember the baseline. You see the difference clearly.

If you notice a parent or grandparent seems "different" this year, your fresh perspective is a gift.

The most loving thing you can do is share your observations gently. This may be the catalyst your family needs to proactively seek support.

Silver Pathways is here to guide sensitive conversations and find the perfect care solution when the time is right. Give us a call at 866-689-5413.

The holiday season brings bustling schedules and festive gatherings, but it can also be the hardest time of year for those dedicated to caring for a loved one with dementia.

This year, as you make your list and check it twice, we ask that you check on a caregiver. A simple phone call, text, or visit can make a profound difference. It reminds them they are seen, valued, and supported.

This holiday season, let's share the gift of support. Reach out, check in, and provide a moment of respite.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the greatest gift you can offer your aging loved one isn't something that can be wrapped.

For many seniors, especially those in transition or living with changing memory, your calm presence is a source of immense comfort and joy.

Here are simple, meaningful ways to connect:

Sit with them, listen to their stories, or engage in light conversation. The connection is what truly matters.

A short walk around the block or a leisurely drive to see festive holiday lights can create a beautiful memory without being overstimulating.

Slow, calm, and deliberate time together is often the most cherished gift of all.

This season, make a conscious choice to slow down and offer your most valuable resource: you.

Silver Pathways offers compassionate guidance and placement assistance for your aging loved ones. Contact us for support at 866-689-5413.

For our elders, the holiday season can bring both joy and a deep sense of longing for family. Being present with your loved ones is a gift that cannot be matched, whether it's holding a hand, sharing a favorite story, or simply enjoying a smile and a hug. These moments create the silver linings in life, the memories that matter most.

We understand the profound importance of this bond. We encourage you to make an extra effort this year. Call them, visit them, or bring them to the table. Your presence is the greatest comfort.

Wishing everyone a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, love, and togetherness!

Hydration plays a crucial role in supporting brain function, mood, and overall health, especially for people living with dementia. Because dementia can make it harder to recognize thirst, dehydration is more common and can quickly impact confusion, balance, and behavior.

Encouraging regular sips, offering favorite drinks, and keeping water within easy reach can help ensure your loved one stays hydrated and comfortable.
Small reminders make a big difference. 💙

The moment a loved one with dementia gets lost while driving is a turning point. It's a crisis that requires immediate action for their safety and the safety of others on the road.

Here are 3 steps to take now:

1. Call the doctor and relay specific, factual details of the recent driving incidents (e.g., "Dad got lost for 3 hours on a familiar route")

The doctor can submit a letter of medical concern directly to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This ensures the DMV initiates a re-examination, and the doctor becomes the source, not you.

2. While the official process with the doctor is underway, you must still have the conversation.

Speak to your loved one and frame the request to stop driving around their safety and well-being. Ask them to voluntarily hand over the keys and discuss alternatives for reliable, safe transportation. This is critical for dignity and respect, even if it leads to resistance.

3. If the doctor is unwilling or unable to act quickly, you can file an anonymous DMV report. Send a formal, written letter to your state's DMV asking them to re-examine your loved one's fitness to drive.

The DMV is legally bound to investigate the claim and will usually send a re-examination notice. They are also legally obligated to honor your request for anonymity and will not disclose you as the source.

⚠️ Crucial Warning: The legal risk of inaction.

Did you know that if your loved one causes an accident, and you or another family member knew they were unfit to drive and failed to intervene, you could be found liable under the legal concept of negligent entrustment? This is why acting immediately and decisively is non-negotiable.
