The Caregiver Journey: Understanding Dementia From the Perspective of the Person Living With It
We talk often about the difficulties of caring for a loved one who is living with dementia, from our perspective as the caregiver. But we talk less about dementia from the point of view of the person actually living with the condition.
In this Caregiver Journey Webinar, we flip the script to better understand dementia from the perspective of the person living with it. Matt Perrin from Carallel is joined by The DAWN Method’s Judy Cornish for the discussion.
