Caring for a partner with dementia: a conversation with Fay Martin

"You don't know what's going wrong. And you have all these theories, but it's a long time before dementia is one of the hypotheses..."

Fay Martin is a retired social worker who lives in Haliburton County, a small rural community in Ontario. She cared for her husband, who had dementia, until his death in 202. He died with - but not of - dementia, sparing them the ravages of the later stages of that disease. Nevertheless, it knocked their lives sideways.
