What's it Like to Care for Someone with Dementia?

from Age Compass · host Deborah Jane

In this episode, I share my personal story of how I unexpectedly ended up caring for my mum, the rollercoaster that followed, and the lessons that not only changed my relationship with her but ultimately led me into a career in dementia care. We'll explore grief, guilt, compassion, curiosity, and why a little understanding can make a world of difference for both families and care workers. If you've ever cared for someone, supported someone who cares, or simply want to understand dementia a little better, this one's for you.Send us Fan Mail
