Hi all,
My names Abi, I'm a student occupational therapist in my final year. I'm currently doing an assignment to improve services in dementia care so I have joined this site in the hope that you could advise me on your experiences with the support and care you have received. I am particularly interested in mild-moderate dementia and whether you feel that you have had enough input/support with day to day things, involvement in hobbies, and emotional support? As well as whether you feel spouses get enough practical support following a diagnosis? Is there any support you wish that you'd received but you didn't get? Any advice is much appreciated as I'd really like to get a better insight into this having not worked within this area myself.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing back from you
Abi
