Knowledge

Hi, I’m Catherine, and through my experience as a family caregiver, I aim to help you by sharing my knowledge and experience of caring at home for a family member with dementia.  I supported and cared for my mother for over a decade, from diagnosis until she sadly but peacefully passed away at home in October 2020. With extensive hands-on experience, I understand the journey of caring at home, from seeking and receiving a diagnosis to living and caring well with dementia.

Information

As a graduate in dementia studies and avid researcher, I uncover and share everything from the latest dementia research and innovative practices to insightful articles, fascinating stories, and much more – information often only accessible by those “in the know”. I publish the best of this in my newsletters. Receive these updates directly into your inbox by clicking here.

Support

My passion is to enable people with dementia to continue to live meaningful and active lives for as long as possible while empowering family carers in their vital role.  My purpose is to bring people together online, forming a supportive community for those caring for someone  with dementia at home.  My aim is to challenge the negative stigma surrounding dementia while offering advice and support to other family carers.

I’m Here to Help Take the Fear Away

Receiving a diagnosis of dementia can be frightening. However, the future need not seem quite so daunting when you have answers available to the many questions that flood your mind.

I share practical information on how to move forward in a positive way – knowledge that I only wish I had when we first started out on our path together. By sharing this with you, I hope that you can learn from my experience and avoid many of the pitfalls we encountered along the way.
