Caregiver support is increasing
We have found that there is increased demand for caregivers in dementia cases. Families engage caregiver early during the symptoms stage because as dementia progresses , caregiving becomes difficult. Previously engaged caregiver understand patient and patient needs hence it becomes less challenging.
