The episode discusses how dementia, while intricate, can be made easier to understand. It breaks down the dementia journey into different parts of an airplane – each representing a unique aspect of the experience.
A Resource for All
The goal is to create a comprehensive and searchable resource, making information about dementia easily accessible to caregivers and families. This is especially important considering the vast amount of information and the specific needs of each stage in the dementia journey.

Understanding that caregivers often feel overwhelmed, the podcast aims to offer strategies and support. It’s about providing guidance without the pressure of fixing everything, recognizing the importance of timely, relevant information.
Thriving with Dementia
The message is clear: thriving, not just surviving, is possible in the journey of dementia care. With support, resources, and a community, caregivers and those with dementia can navigate this path more confidently.
