Dementia is disruptive, incredibly so. You can’t get help for what you don’t understand, so this path requires gathering information, pushing for an accurate diagnosis, educating yourself and those around you, and finding new approaches for everyone involved.

In this episode of of the Best Life Best Death Podcast, Kay shares valuable information from her extensive experience as a dementia coach:

• Why does getting an accurate diagnosis matter?
• Why is neurological screening by itself not enough?
• What is helpful for caregivers/carepartners to realize about their experience?
• Why is dementia on the rise, and what can we do?

As Kay says in her book, Bedside Witness: Stories of Hope, Healing and Humanity: “This heartbreaking illness and the collateral damage it can leave in its wake is one of the most complicated journeys any human being may ever have to take.”
