Today we are lucky to have Meryl Comer, Ginny Biggar, Greg O’Brien and Terry Frangiosa. We are going to be discussing how in the early stages of dementia, there is great sensitivity around issues of independence and dependency for those living with the disease, as well as how care partners try so hard to figure the best way to support their loved ones.
