Alzheimer’s and dementia are diseases that affect not only the patient—they also often leave the caregivers feeling emotionally and mentally exhausted.
Recently Dr. Tiffany Chow, author of The Memory Clinic, hosted a special YMC Book Club for a group of women who are looking after loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia to shed light on these devastating diseases.
Watch this video to see women open up about caring for their loved ones and learn why it’s important that you, the caregiver, don’t forget to take care of yourself as well.
Special thanks to Penguin and Baycrest for making this informative evening happen.
Check out this touching post by YMC blogger, Jennifer Kolari who is caring for her mom who no longer recognizes her.
