Cultural challenges in dementia caregiving - Dementia Care Conversation with Varsha Bhat

Dementia care brings so many challenges, and when you're culturally diverse, there is often another layer of challenge on top. In this dementia care conversation, Varsha Bhat shares her own personal experience as caregiver for her mother who had a rare form of dementia called Corticobasal Degeneration. We discuss Navigating a healthcare system that isn't educated on cultural needs, how Varsha advocated and educated herself, how it took 5 years to finally get the correct diagnosis, and how Varsha now supports other caregivers through her podcast Aging with Dignity. ---------------------------------- This is part of our series of dementia care conversations with family caregivers and experts in dementia care.
