We are all aware of the advantages that our social connections provide. Our relationships and social engagements contribute significantly to our health and happiness. However, when a loved one is diagnosed with memory loss, navigating social situations can become challenging. This creates a genuine risk of isolation and depression. In this episode, we delve into the gradual changes your loved one may undergo and discuss how to adjust expectations and activities to effectively maintain these vital social connections.
