In dementia care, April is the month we water the seeds—learning, unlearning, and growing in understanding. Like a garden needs consistent rain, great care needs consistent reflection and education. Every insight we gain—whether from a loved one’s changing behavior or a new piece of research—is a drop of water feeding our ability to offer person-centered, connected support.
You don’t need to know it all—just enough to start growing. Caregivers who embrace ongoing education, who ask questions, who pause to reflect, are building better outcomes, not just for the person living with dementia but for themselves as well. The learning may not always be easy, but it is always necessary.
Tips:
- Read one new article or watch a short video about dementia each week this month.
- Join an online caregiver group or attend a free educational webinar to continue learning.
