Guest Judy Cornish an author, founder of the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network (DAWN®), creator of the DAWN Method® and retired elder law attorney. Her two books (The Dementia Handbook and Dementia With Dignity) take person-centered dementia care from theory to practice by teaching families how to provide strength-based dementia care. Through DAWN, Judy provides counseling, private classes and an online video program for families and home caregivers. Her goal is to help families learn how to truly support their loved ones and enjoy more companionship as they live with dementia.

Learn the different stages of dementia before you are in a situation where you don't understand what is happening to your loved one or how best to respectfully treat them.  Personally I didn't find out my Dad had dementia until he was in the later stages and I am certain I would have handled our life together differently if I had understood what was happening.  Knowledge is power.
