Talking Aging talks to Emily Edwards, RN, an experienced dementia doula and found of the Dementia Doula School. Together, we explore the profound impact that a dementia doula can have on individuals and their families. Emily shares insights into the emotional support, education, and advocacy she provides, offering a unique perspective on navigating the complexities of memory loss and cognitive decline.

Emily explains how communities can become more dementia-friendly and shares some strategies for making you home a supportive place where an individual living with dementia can continue to be independant.

What will the future of dementia care be? I hope it looks a lot like the care that Emily provides to her clients and their families.
