This guide (192 pages) is designed to support people with dementia and their caregivers. It explains the science of the syndrome, outlines its progression, and offers practical tools and advice on safety and personal care.
The guide was created by a multidisciplinary team at the McGill University Dementia Education Program (DEP) in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS). The content was provided by the Program’s founder and former care partner Ms. Claire Webster, geriatrician Dr. José A. Morais, neurologist Dr. Serge Gauthier, and partners from the McGill University Research Centre for Studies in Aging, the Division of Geriatric Medicine, the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, and the School of Social Work.
