Living with a spouse who has dementia brings with it the unique challenges of incorporating a caregiving role into the spousal relationship. We have worked with hundreds of people to help them manage their spouse’s dementia journey, while enabling them to maintain the relationship through its varying stages. Group sessions help promote advanced knowledge and skills in dementia care and provide an environment that is supportive, educational and social, and one that celebrates the successes in caregiving.
