Dementia is a journey—not only for the person diagnosed but also for their family and loved ones. At Sisters Hospitallers, we know that caring for someone with dementia can bring many challenges, but also moments of deep connection and love.
Families often experience a mix of emotions: fear, sadness, frustration, and sometimes relief. It’s important to remember that these feelings are natural. Seeking support—whether through counselling, support groups, or simply sharing with trusted friends—can make a huge difference.
Sisters Hospitallers offers holistic care that includes families as part of the community. We provide guidance, education, and emotional support to help families navigate the many stages of dementia.
We encourage open conversations, helping families prepare for the future while focusing on quality of life in the present.
Hope doesn’t mean ignoring difficulties—it means finding light in the small moments: a smile, a shared memory, or a peaceful afternoon. Our care teams work to create these moments every day, reminding families and residents alike that life continues to hold meaning and joy.
As Dementia Action Week comes to a close, we thank you for joining us in starting conversations and making a difference. Together, we can build a more compassionate, understanding world for everyone touched by dementia.
