Living Well With Dementia: A Journey to Thriving - Part 2

How can we help someone with dementia hold on to the things that make life meaningful? In the second episode of this three-part series, “Living Well With Dementia: A Journey to Thriving Well,” host Dawn Platt explores the deeply personal side of the dementia journey — finding fulfillment, preserving a sense of self, and continuing to embrace the values, passions, and interests that make each person unique. Through the moving story of an accomplished concert pianist and insights from research on the benefits of mental, social, and physical activity, Dawn offers a compassionate reminder that dementia may change what someone can do, but it doesn’t have to erase who they are. Discover how thoughtful modifications, meaningful engagement, and establishing a routine can help reduce anxiety and depression, support well-being, and create opportunities to keep living — and thriving — with purpose.
