Assistance and Support

From: Losing me, While Losing You

$2.80

In this chapter, caregivers discuss their sources of assistance and support as they embarked on their shared journey of caring for loved ones with dementia. While some had family nearby, others did not. For those whose important ones had been diagnosed recently, the impact of the pandemic greatly reduced their ability to access services that might have been available previously.
