Understanding Dementia: Practical Tips for Caregivers | Your Carolina

How can we better understand and support loved ones living with dementia? Interim HealthCare's Morgan Durham recently joined Your Carolina to discuss the challenges of dementia and share practical tips to help families and caregivers communicate with greater patience, understanding, and empathy. Through Second Wind Dreams' Virtual Dementia Tour® experience, Interim HealthCare is helping families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals gain a deeper understanding of what individuals living with dementia may experience in their daily lives.

Because while dementia may change how someone experiences the world, it does not change their need for love, respect, and connection.
