Help for caring for someone with dementia in New Zealand
From people who came through it
“This time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was power of attorney paperwork. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”
Hector from Norfolk V · been through caring for someone with dementia“Hi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The care home waiting list. That was my life. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart.”
Hanne from Örebro · been through caring for someone with dementia“A note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. Sundowning around five. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”
Phuc G. · been through caring for someone with dementia“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place this time last year. The worst part was my siblings who live far away. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”
