The Slow Churn of “What Now?” and “What Next?” as a Family Caregiver

It all starts with a sneaking suspicion of something different or something changed in a loved one. From there, the questions and curiosities don’t stop. This module focuses on where to start if you suspect memory impairment in a loved one and continues through the three stages of dementia. This helps us understand where we are at and where we might be going. Clarity is kindness, and honesty about dementia’s realities, while difficult, are important for our advocacy, coping, grief, and planning.
