Description

As their condition worsens, patients become increasingly unable to care for themselves and have to rely on someone else, usually a loved one, to look after them.

As a caregiver, it can be incredibly intimidating and often anxiety-inducing to have so many responsibilities, and challenges thrust upon you.

Especially for those without any experience, caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming - you don't want the guilt of making mistakes.
