Dementia care extends beyond medical treatment and includes physical, emotional, social and practical support for individuals and families. This session explores person-centred care, caregiver experiences, communication, daily living, long-term care, palliative support, dignity, independence and quality of life. It also considers workforce development, care coordination and the challenges faced by family and professional caregivers.
