They explore the broader definition of dementia, emphasising that it encompasses various diseases like Alzheimer's and impacts more than just memory. Lisa highlights the crucial role of empathy, inclusion, and kindness in caring for those with dementia, emphasising the need to maintain the personhood of the person with dementia.
