Early Stage

Go to Sessions

In the early stage, subtle changes in one’s abilities are noticeable to people living with dementia and/or to the people close to them. Everyone in the circle is re-arranging roles and responsibilities, consciously or not.

You may have recently learned about a diagnosis or are going through the process of getting one. These sessions are meant to:

  • Help you set the tone of how you will navigate dementia
  • Provide you knowledge about what dementia is
  • Offer insight into what it is like for the person living with dementia
  • Give tips about important conversations to have now that will help in the future

Open the roadmaps below. One will give you a visual overview of dementia, and the second will provide you with a visual of Early Stage dementia.
