Dementia is prevalent and the number of people living with dementia is projected to reach 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050. Consequently, knowing what to do and who you can turn to, when supporting someone living with dementia, is vital now more than ever.
Our host and Lifestyle & Estate Planning expert, Stewart Stretton-Hill, is joined by a panel of guests including Alison Hesketh, Nicola Hawkins and Vicky Lambert. Alison is a Senior Life Specialist and founder of Timefinders - a company which bridges the gap between the legal and financial professions and the care sector. Nicola Hawkins specialises in helping elderly and vulnerable clients with legal issues related to mental capacity, and Vicky Lambert is our in-house coach and counsellor.
Together they discuss:
• The issues facing family members when supporting someone living with a dementia diagnosis
• Steps individuals can take to prepare themselves and their families for a time when they may lack their mental capacity
• How to address the practical and emotional issues arising when an individual may not understand or accept their diagnosis
• The legal framework and documentation available to enable decisions to be taken for an individual who lacks their mental incapacity
• How to sensitively provide practical, care and holistic support to the individual who is likely to be particularly vulnerable.
