Navigating the Dementia Care Journey

The authors of The Complete Family Guide to Dementia: Everything You Need to Know to Help Your Parent and Yourself discuss how to care smarter, not harder.

About the Event

Dementia is harder for families to care for than any other illness, but families often don’t plan ahead for this and wind up in a cycle of stress and crisis. Journalist Thomas Harrison and leading geriatric psychiatrist Brent Forester, authors of The Complete Family Guide to Dementia: Everything You Need to Know to Help Your Parent and Yourself, will explain the unique challenges of dementia caregiving and the need to "care smarter, not harder" in order to help loved ones maintain the best possible quality of life.

They will also discuss how families and professional caregivers can work together more smoothly to improve outcomes, not just for the person with dementia but for the family as well.
