Dementia Support Beyond Medications
Cognitive changes and dementia can be some of the hardest parts of living with Parkinson’s. Thankfully, there are many helpful tools and services beyond medication that can make a big difference.
In this Wellness Wednesday webinar, we’ll explore ways to support safety and quality of life through medical, emotional, and social support. You’ll learn how to build a strong care team—including professionals like psychiatrists, speech therapists, and social workers—and discover community resources like memory cafés and support groups. Walk away with practical tips to better understand and manage dementia-related changes.
