Hearing that a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, families can move forward with confidence. At Clarendale at Indian Lake, we are dedicated to offering guidance, care, and resources so you and your loved ones feel prepared for the journey.

The period right after diagnosis is especially important. Scheduling appointments with specialists, gaining a better understanding of the type and stage of dementia, and connecting with supportive networks all help create a sense of reassurance. Whether your loved one is in the early stage—when independence often continues—or in later stages that require more hands-on support, knowing what to expect allows families to make thoughtful, proactive decisions.
