There are some 100 different types of dementia (including Alzheimer’s) with over 125k diagnosed in Wisconsin. This puts pressure on the family and friends entrusted to care for their loved ones. Carla Bersheit is a dementia care speciliast at the ADRC in Dunn County, who informs us of the local resources available for both the caregivers and those diagnosed.
On this episode she touches on mis-conceptions about thedisease, the impact a diagnosis may have on a family but also why its “going to be okay”.
