* The person you are caring for has multiple medical or psychological issues. 
* The person you are caring for has limited or no local family support. 
* Your family is at odds regarding care decisions. 
* The person you are caring for is not pleased with current care providers and requires advocacy. 
* The person you are caring for is confused about his/her own financial and/or legal situation. 
* Your family needs education and/or direction in dealing with behaviors associated with dementia.
