Early Stage
In the early stage, subtle changes in one’s abilities are noticeable to people living with dementia and/or to the people close to them. Everyone in the circle is re-arranging roles and responsibilities, consciously or not.
You may have recently learned about a diagnosis or are going through the process of getting one. These sessions are meant to:
- Help you set the tone of how you will navigate dementia
- Provide you knowledge about what dementia is
- Offer insight into what it is like for the person living with dementia
- Give tips about important conversations to have now that will help in the future
