At the Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving we recognize and elevate the essential role family members and caregivers play in caring for people living with dementia. Caring for someone with dementia can be rewarding but also very difficult. Over time, the health needs of the person living with dementia often grow and become more complex, requiring more intensive assistance. This can significantly impact the health and wellbeing of the caregivers, especially if they do not have the support and help they need.
