Description

In the Dementia Caregiving for Families podcast, we delve into the important topic of improving the quality of life for individuals living with dementia and the caregivers who support them. With my background as an occupational therapist, I recognize the challenges that family caregivers face and the limited resources available to them.

Our healthcare system often overlooks the needs of dementia patients and their families, leaving them without the necessary guidance and support. This realization has fueled my passion to create this podcast, where we aim to provide reliable dementia education, practical caregiving skills, and effective strategies to address challenging behaviors.

By subscribing to this podcast and joining our Facebook group, you will gain access to valuable information and a supportive community. Together, we can navigate the complexities of dementia caregiving and choose a path that brings peace of mind to ourselves and improves the well-being of our loved ones.

Join us on this journey to better understand dementia and caregiving. Let's empower ourselves with the tools and knowledge to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by dementia. Together, we can choose an easier path in dementia caregiving.
