Late Stage
It is a natural human reaction to hope when facing challenges. When living with a progressive illness, what we hope for changes over time, but hope always remains present.
In the late stage of dementia, the person living with dementia will require around-the-clock care and support, often necessitating paid assistance at home or in a care facility. Your role as a care partner will evolve; you will now be the voice of the person living with dementia. In the late-stage sessions, you will explore:
- How hope is helpful.
- Learn about communication with care providers and the person living with dementia.
- How to maintain the best quality of life.
