Most caregivers don’t realize that there are more living options available than throwing your loved one in a nursing home. 

There are several different living options — all catered to the specific needs of each individual battling dementia. Not only does this increase their overall quality of life, but it can make caregiving more manageable for you. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Patty Williams, co-owner of Ruby Care, to discuss all the various living options and how each one is tailored to specific needs your loved one needs.
