My husband was diagnosed with dementia and I had no idea where to start or what we needed to do. My previous experience with other family members helped a lot but nothing quite prepared me for the dementia experience. As our journey has progressed and I've met so many incredible health professionals and fellow carers along the way, I decided that a practical step by step guide was missing to help navigate the daunting volume of tasks involved. Hopefully this will help others in a similar situation with some practical advice and suggestions and make it just that little bit easier to get through it.
