When someone we love is living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, it can be easy to focus on the diagnosis instead of the person. But meaningful care begins by protecting identity, dignity, and human connection. In this episode, dementia care professional Leslie Sedille joins host Annika Dhariwal to explore what person-centered care truly looks like in daily practice. Drawing from her experience in senior advocacy and geriatric care management, Leslie shares practical guidance on preserving independence, adapting communication, reducing frustration, and supporting families through the emotional realities of dementia care. This conversation offers caregivers a grounded, compassionate framework to maintain respect, strengthen relationships, and navigate cognitive decline with confidence—keeping humanity at the heart of every interaction.
