Dementia Adventures & Other Stories

About Dementia Adventures & Other Stories

This podcast is about a couple of sisters sharing our experiences of caring for our grandma who was diagnosed with dementia. We want everyone to know about the good, the bad and the ugly because although there's a wide array of useful information already out there about how to care for people with dementia, it's not a one size fits all and we want to let others, who are caring for someone with dementia know that they're not alone and that everyone goes through these weird and wonderful scenarios with their loved one. It's not all about dementia though, hence the 'other stories' element. In other stories, we discuss how each of us is an idiot at some point in our lives, we take it in turns to share our stupidity. We hope you enjoy and that it gives you a laugh now and then, because we could all do with laughter in our lives. If you have any dementia related stories you'd like to share or any funny idiotic sibling stories, please email: dementiaadventures_os@outlook.com (mailto:dementiaadventures_os@outlook.com) You can also find us on Instagram: dementiaadventures2023
