NursePartners and Rothamel Bratton (now Bratton Scott) co-founded the National Aging in Place Council in May 2016. We realized that not all segments of the population had access to the same resources. Individuals that are ineligible for public assistance, but also not wealthy, did not know where to access the resources to help them age in place.
How would older adults know who specializes in providing quality care for aging in place related services? Who could they contact to make home modifications, downsize their residence, seek long-term care insurance, or enroll in hospice services?
This need for reliable and certified services spurred our desire to create a group that could provide solutions to these questions. We could feel confident that our members supported older adults age independently, comfortably, and safely at home. We bring professionals together to share their expertise from the private, academic, and non-profit services. Together we collaborate on initiatives and educate the public.
We thoroughly vet potential members. All NAIPC Philadelphia members have successfully completed criminal background checks, possess senior certifications in their field of service, and are verified by the group through reference checks and interviews. We only want to refer the best service providers to our clients in their moments of need.

The early stages of dementia sometimes go unnoticed, especially if the older adult lives alone. In the cases that we do learn of an early diagnosis, the challenge becomes how to best support the person living with dementia. Typically the diagnosis may be Alzheimer’s disease, but the reality is that there are over 80 types of dementia and other conditions that produce symptoms similar to dementia.
Stage 1 – Mild/Early (lasts 2-4 yrs) – NursePartners refers to these individuals as “Sapphires” and “Diamonds”
In the early stages of dementia, your loved one may withdraw from activities they previously enjoyed. It is important to help them remain engaged and stimulated. Even the most simple, everyday tasks such as setting the table or folding clothes can help a person with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia feel connected to “normal” life. Activities linked to hobbies and interests can maximize choice and help build the relationship between that person and the carepartner.
About Sapphires and Diamonds
Sapphires
Sapphires may feel “blue” due to changes with the aging process, although there may be no significant changes in cognition. Sapphires are committed to lifelong patterns, enjoying the things the way they always have. Sapphires prefer being asked what to do when making decisions. Pamper them – spending a spa day or a trip to the barber/beauty salon can help them feel less blue. Sapphires are not living with dementia.
Diamonds
Diamonds are “clear and sharp,” successful with established habits and routines. Diamonds like to feel competent and valued, and it is important for them to feel comfortable and in control. A diamond can still do things as they always have, but they become more territorial and less aware of boundaries. Diamonds enjoy familiar places, whether that be a family member’s home or a favorite restaurant. Suggested activities include attending concerts or plays and getting fresh air – picnicking or walking outdoors.
A stroll in the neighborhood helps animate most older adults.
Activities for Sapphires and Diamonds
Thinking: crosswords, jigsaw puzzles, cards, board games, and reading.
Physical: walking animals, gardening, walking, swimming, and dancing.
Social: visiting with family or friends, or going to a favorite restaurant.
Home Activities: folding laundry, feeding pets, cooking and helping in the kitchen.
Creative: arts and crafts projects, knitting, painting and drawing, playing music or singing.
Daily living: taking a shower, brushing teeth, eating, and getting dressed.
Creating a scrapbook, pasting photos onto the pages and writing notes about the memory beside the photo.
Reading saved letters and greeting cards.
Life Story Game: Ask your loved one to list the steps and necessities associated with an activity. For example: “We are going on a picnic, what would we bring in the picnic basket? Where would we go for the picnic?”

As a caretaker or family member, you may notice that sometimes a loved one with dementia can display signs of pacing. He or she may become restless, causing a need to move around. They might wander back and forth – sometimes to the point of exhaustion. Individuals who walkabout, may also feel agitated and take on repetitive moments.
When an individual with dementia starts to behave differently, this can often mistakenly be seen as a result of Dementia. It’s important to see beyond the behavior itself and think about what may be causing it. Looking at the underlying factors might help you identify the needs of your loved one and reduce these behaviors. Try to evaluate whether the pacing is problematic, or if you as a carepartner can alter your response to their behavior.
Rather than dismissing it, it is important to think about how to preserve their independence, dignity and safety.
So what causes pacing in Dementia?
Restlessness (as a symptom of dementia or a side effect of medication)
Relieving pain and discomfort
Boredom
Lack of physical activity
Feeling lost (searching for something familiar)
Responding to anxiety and stress
Need for the bathroom, hunger or thirst
Disorientation or confusion
Here’s how you can respond to pacing behavior:
Your loved one might wander or pace in response to basic needs like human contact, hunger, or thirst. Ensure that their basic needs are met, and that he or she is not in pain.
If night time walking or pacing is a particular issue, your loved one may have sleeping difficulties. Monitoring caffeine and alcohol consumption in the evenings, as well as avoiding daytime napping can reduce restlessness and pacing.
Constant pacing may also reveal that your loved one is not getting enough physical activity. Encouraging them to incorporate more exercise in their daily routine can reduce the spare energy exerted during restlessness.
New surroundings can trigger feelings of confusion and uncertainty. If you find that your loved one’s behavior has worsened due to a new location or surrounding, showing them familiar items can assure them that they belong. Your loved one may also need extra help finding their way about. It may be helpful to provide signs to familiarize them with their surroundings.
Offering meaningful activities that engage your loved one can relieve boredom and diminish pacing. Being occupied can provide them with a sense of purpose, keeping them mentally engaged and physically active.
If your loved one appears to be constantly distressed or the pacing worsens, call a physician to ask about possible medications that can help.
