Join Colm as he talks to Gina about the challenging journey of supporting her father Gus through a dementia diagnosis and the subsequent unpredictable search for suitable care. This episode dismantles the stigma toward behaviours in dementia and focuses on the importance of person-centred care. Gina and Gus’ story is a testament to the bonds of family, demonstrating how a child’s love and determination for their parent’s safety and well-being changed both their lives.

“I think what’s important is that your family member, loved one, the person living with dementia feels safe and secure and anywhere that opened a door that offered that would be wonderful.”
