Caring for a person with dementia truly takes a village. As dementia progresses, it can affect memory, judgment, communication, and behavior, creating new challenges for both individuals and their caregivers. To reduce caregiver stress and prevent burnout, it is important to seek support from healthcare professionals and community resources. Planning ahead for home care, adult day programs, legal and financial matters, and long-term care needs can help families navigate the journey with greater confidence.
Join our Brain Health and Memory Disorders Program FREE workshop to learn valuable strategies, access resources, and connect with others facing the journey of dementia. You will meet other caregivers, learn from aging experts, and develop the team you need for successful care for a loved one living with dementia.
