What will happen now my loved one has a dementia diagnosis? With Lorraine Haining of Dementia Carers Count

The Care & Dementia Podcast

Welcome to "The Care and Dementia Podcast," where we provide valuable insights and support for those caring for older loved ones. I’m your host, Gemma Clay, founder of Sweet Pea Care.

Have you or your loved one received a dementia diagnosis? Are you feeling confused and overwhelmed about what happens next? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Receiving a dementia diagnosis can be very scary, but there is help available.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Lorraine Haining, a Specialist Practitioner from Dementia Carers Count. Lorraine will share her expert advice on what happens after a dementia diagnosis and explain why every individual's experience with dementia is unique.

She’ll discuss how dementia, though unseen, affects every facet of life and why everyone's journey is different.

In this informal yet insightful discussion, Lorraine will also answer questions from our webinar audience, providing practical tips for caregivers about their specific dementia care journeys and where to find help.

Dementia Carers Count is a wonderful charity and is committed to creating a world where everyone caring for someone with dementia feels confident, supported, and heard so I’m thrilled to have Lorraine on the show.
