Ask Us Anything: How Do We Empower Carers to Trust Their Instincts?

Future Planning means thinking ahead about care, comfort and the kind of support you want as dementia progresses. In our Ask Us Anything episodes, you send us your questions about living with dementia and we’ll answer them as honestly as we can. Nothing is off limits here!  We discuss ways we can empower carers to share their insights as they advocate for their loved ones in palliative care. If you’d like personalised support you can contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. You can call 24 hours a day, or request a callback, start a webchat, or send an email with whatever is on your mind.     +++    ABOUT THIS EPISODE  This ‘Ask Us Anything’ episode was hosted by Jim Rogers with advice from Jayne, Nightingale Program Manager, at Dementia Australia.     NEED SUPPORT?   Contact the National Dementia Helpline: 1800 100 500.
