Caring for a family member with dementia can be emotionally and physically demanding. The challenges of witnessing cognitive decline and managing daily care can impact your mental health and family dynamics. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer support and counseling specifically designed to help families cope, adapt, and find balance during this journey.
