THE CHALLENGE: Navigating Dementia with Confidence

Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. You’re navigating an unpredictable journey filled with tough decisions, emotional strain, and constant uncertainty. Without the right knowledge and support, it’s easy to feel lost and unsure of what’s best for your loved one—and yourself.

 

Amy believes that understanding dementia changes everything. When you know what’s happening, when to act, and why certain behaviors emerge, you can master the how of caregiving with confidence and compassion.
