At Family Choices for Dementia, we walk alongside families through every stage — offering compassionate care, practical guidance, and the steady support that makes an impossible journey feel a little less alone.
Family Choices for Dementia was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that every person living with dementia deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for with genuine dignity — and that their families should never have to navigate this path alone.
Based in Duxbury, we serve individuals and families across the South Shore and greater Boston area with specialized programs designed around the unique challenges of cognitive decline. From early-stage support to later-stage care coordination, our team brings clinical expertise and deep human compassion to everything we do.
We know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it's the bravest choice a family can make. That's why we meet you exactly where you are, with patience, clarity, and a plan that respects your loved one's story.
Every journey with dementia is different. Our services are designed to meet you at your current stage — and grow with you as needs change.
One-on-one sessions with licensed counselors who specialize in dementia-related grief, adjustment, and family dynamics. We help you process emotions and build resilience together.
Regular workshops covering everything from understanding diagnosis to managing behavioral changes. We also offer caregiver bootcamps and monthly support group meetings.
Giving caregivers a necessary break is not indulgence — it's essential. Our supervised respite programs provide safe, engaging environments so you can recharge with peace of mind.
Navigating healthcare systems is overwhelming. We connect you with physicians, social workers, memory clinics, and community resources — and help you manage the logistics.
Structured, activity-based programs designed specifically for individuals at various stages of dementia. We focus on engagement, cognitive stimulation, and preserving joy in daily life.
When things change suddenly — a hospitalization, a diagnosis progression, a care transition — we're here. Rapid-response guidance when your family needs it most.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our process is built around you — your timeline, your questions, your family's unique story.
Every conversation starts with listening. We take the time to understand your situation, your concerns, and what success looks like for your family — before we recommend anything.
Together, we create a personalized care strategy that aligns with your loved one's needs, your family's capacity, and the resources available in your community.
Dementia is not a destination — it's a journey with changing terrain. We provide ongoing support that adapts as circumstances evolve, so you never feel like you're starting over.
Our goal isn't to create dependency — it's to build your family's confidence and capability. We provide tools, knowledge, and community so you feel prepared for whatever comes next.
Hearing from families who have walked this path gives us purpose every single day.
When my mother was first diagnosed, our whole family felt lost. Family Choices gave us a roadmap and, more importantly, gave us hope that we could still find moments of connection and joy together.
The respite care program was a lifeline for me. Knowing my father was in safe, capable hands for just a few hours a week made the difference between me burning out and being able to keep going.
What sets this team apart is that they treat your loved one like a person, not a diagnosis. The activities, the patience, the genuine warmth — it changed how our family experiences this journey.
A brief conversation with our team can help you understand your options, clarify next steps, and feel a little more like yourself again.
Whether you're just beginning to explore your options or you're in the middle of making care decisions, we welcome your call or message. There's no wrong time to reach out.
