A caregiver told us she wished that the dementia diagnosiscame with an instruction manual because she was left with so many questions. She wanted to know what dementia was, what were the stages, what to expect at each stage, how the brain changes, the symptoms that come with it, etc.

I had the same questions when caring for my grandmother, and so did our whole team. That’s why our team created a what’s, why’s, and how’s of dementiaonline course.
