Caring for a loved one who is gradually losing their mental and physical abilities over time is one of the most challenging tasks. However, by adopting a family-centered approach, we can overcome caregiver burnout and find solace in supporting one another.

They are respected for their wisdom and knowledge and as a valuable link to the past and family history. Unfortunately, in our modern-day Western culture, we are conditioned to be self-reliant, independent, and often isolated.
