Education and support for families caring for loved ones with dementia. Often, visiting a loved one with dementia might not always be suitable. Family members still have the opportunity to learn about dementia through an educational presentation that includes hands-on learning and offers practical solutions for challenging situations tailored to their specific circumstances. This involves brainstorming to identify the particular needs, interests, activities, and schedule that will best support both the loved one and the entire family. This can be done in person or, if family members are far apart, a ZOOM meeting works too.
