The beginning of the story…

Cognitive Decline - slow and subtle
The loneliness of diagnosis
Overwhelmed
Can good friends and relationships

mitigate against impact?

The only gay in the village
Reaching out for information,

fellowship and support

The Journey…

The Doctor will see you now… and again…

and again…

Alice in Wonderland, making sense of

behaviour and constantly adjusting

Good times and Bad times, no time for

sadness

Holding hands
The power and love of the individual you

care for

SLIDE 6

What’s Missing

Person centred care - what does that

mean for us?

Support for people under 65 affected by

dementia
