A Prescription of Care following a Diagnosis of Dementia

She will describe the ripple effect that being a caregiver had on her own health, family and career, and talk about the resilience required to recover from a severe burnout. Claire and Dr. Morais will share 鈥淎 Prescription of Care鈥� following a diagnosis of dementia.
