DEMENTIA FOR FAMILIES
The effect on family life when caring for a loved one with dementia is trying. Especially when they live at home.
In order to care effectively for a person living with dementia you must accept the way things are, and then, introduce change into your life.
Come share and listen to trained staff who understand and want to help.
We'll discuss:
• What dementia is and what living with dementia means
• The grieving process
• Support services and how to access them
• Challenging behaviour and how to respond
• What are the doctors saying and how to understand them
• What happens when keeping your loved one at home is no
longer an option
