A diagnosis may change how someone communicates, but it never changes their need to feel respected, understood and loved.

Throughout World Alzheimer’s Month, we are shining a light on the individuals living with memory loss and the families walking beside them.

That is one of the most meaningful things about faith in dementia care. In our blog, we also share how spiritual practices can help families find reassurance and strength in an emotionally difficult season:
