Anna, wow. I've clicked through the links, watched the clips and downloaded the free tools. THANK you. Your website looks great. The Dementia-Specific Health Care Directives are so important to help guide caregivers, but most importantly the chosen advocate/power of attorney.

There is no easy time to discuss these things but from experience, I'm 100% clear that it's better to be primed, prepared and gain clarity on wishes BEFORE a crisis happens. The questions and suggestions you've put in the tools are pertinent prompts.

May I share your article on Carer Mentor and highlight your website - as a direct link in the Dementia Anthology and the Giving/Receiving Care series I'm writing now?

xo Anna, words of appreciation and gratitude for you putting this together for others. These would have been helpful for us with Dad back in 2018/19 to seed in thoughts and questions, and build more of a picture of his wishes. Although, his other health issues overshadowed the Vascular dementia. Heart failure and Bladder cancer dominated his everyday health issues.

Here's the link to the section I made to highlight your work: https://www.carermentor.com/i/148915868/dementia-specific-health-care-directives

Anna, this is amazing! The video clips are examples of great things to come - you are going to help so many families with this new endeavor. What a way to honor Stuart- an absolute gift to the world. I will make my way through the links, and I look forward to hearing how all of this unfolds. Thank You. We need these resources all in one place. 💙
