Join us for our conference where we will take a closer look at
“Dementia: the dignity of the patient and the Faith of the family caregiver”
and other thoughts about ethic when you assist a patient with dementia.
Our panel will talk about ethical questions such as:
Taking care of a loved one with dementia: is it a disgrace or an opportunity to love?
How can we preserve the dignity of a dementia patient over all the years of the disease?
How can the emotional and physical burden of the family caregiver get along with his/her Faith?
