Social isolation has a detrimental impact on the millions of persons living with dementia and their care partners in the United States. Conversely, we generally see greater satisfaction with support when emotional and social support are present for the caregiving dyad. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss the importance of emotional and social support, why it may “dry up” after diagnosis, why dyads may self-isolate, and propose some ideas for the families to foster support.
