In this lesson, you’ll step into the everyday lives of people affected by dementia – those living with the condition, their care partners, and other community members. Through real stories and honest perspectives, you’ll see how dementia impacts more than memory. It also affects daily life, relationships, and even a person’s sense of self.
We invite you to open your heart and mind as you listen to these experiences. Being willing to see dementia from different perspectives can change how you understand the condition – and how you view the people living with it.
While dementia brings challenges, you’ll also see the strength, hope, and resilience people carry with them. These stories remind us that with compassion and support, people living with dementia and their care partners can still find joy, meaning, and connection. Shared understanding is the first step towards shared solutions.
