Understanding the Journey of Dementia
Living with dementia presents unique challenges. Individuals may struggle with:
-
Communicating their needs
-
Losing independence (e.g., no longer driving, needing help with bathing or dressing)
-
Feeling isolated as friends and family may not know how to help
Caregivers often face their own set of difficulties, such as:
-
Emotional and physical exhaustion
-
Financial strain
-
Guilt and stress-related health issues
-
Loss of personal time and career opportunities
