Emily Carver

Emily has a passion for changing how we treat and interact with parents and loved ones with dementia. Learning from experience and expertise, and from working in both larger care settings and private homes, Emily quickly understood the need to share her vital plan that works for so many families. Emily’s method has mended fractious relationships and helped families out of emotional and practical crisis.

Emily has written a method for finding joy again, joy in being together with a parent living with dementia, and this is a method that every family can employ.

The plan is founded on rebuilding the connections of communication once language becomes muddled or lost. Her unique approach pivots this loss by ensuring people with dementia actively engage with the world by doing what they love, leaving them with an inner happiness or contentment, that can transform any difficult visit or interaction.

Emily’s remarkable Boat Method has proven that people living with dementia, and their families, can find joy in every day, in spending time together and at all stages of living with dementia.
