A dementia Resource at Your Fingertips
A dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming for loved ones and families. With so many questions, it can be hard to know where to turn for the education you need. That’s why the team of dementia experts at Belmont Village Senior Living created this Dementia Care Resource website.
Their Dementia Care site is a one-of-a kind resource, full of information that addresses the specific needs and questions of families on every step of their journey.
As a fellow provider of care and support for thousands of older adults and their families, Belmont understands better than most the complexity of cognitive loss, both for the person who is experiencing it and for their loved ones. While the diagnosis of dementia is life-changing, we want you to know that you are not alone.
