Four new episodes of "Stories for Caregivers" have been launched.

 

According to a recent digital report  from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), unpaid caregivers of seniors with dementia are more likely to experience distress and spend more time providing care compared with caregivers of other seniors. Most seniors with dementia in Canada live at home and need support to do so, which is why the role of unpaid caregivers is so important.

Guest:  Stephanie Erickson, a clinical social worker and family caregiving expert.

 

One new episode highlights the story of  a Cambridge paramedic, daughter and grandmother who cares for her elderly father who has dementia.
