Program Description
“Increasingly, more and more care partners will put their lives on hold to take care of a loved one. They will continue to witness, and have to manage, an array of challenging behaviors and changing personalities, from outbursts to confusion, as they cope with the progression of declining cognitive and physical functions. They will also continue to deal with their own grief while navigating the health care system, and their changing family dynamics and financial situation.”
