Compassionate care - How to support those dealing with dementia 

Dementia is a term used to describe a range of symptoms that impact memory, problem-solving, language, and behaviour, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. There are still substantial gaps when it comes to research about the disease, and a direct cure remains elusive. Caring for loved ones with dementia can be extremely challenging and emotionally overwhelming, leaving many lost on how to cope or provide useful support. However, ongoing research and the increase in awareness have led to the development of accessible guidance, offering the correct tools to best help carers provide compassionate care, enabling individuals with dementia to lead a much more meaningful and fulfilling life.
