Episode 19: Dr. Carol Sargent - I Didn’t Sign Up For This I Didn’t Sign Up For This

    • Mental Health

In this episode, Jo and Emma chatted with Dr Carol Sargent from Sargent Consulting. 
 
Carol Shared with us the difference between 'Dementia friendly' and 'Dementia Inclusive' particularly in relation to hospitality and holidays. 
 
On the back of Jo and Emma taking their husbands on two different types of holidays this year, Carol shares her thoughts and experience on how best to plan holidays when you want to holiday with a loved one with dementia. She questions the notion of 'challenging behaviours' and asks those working to provide services that might include people with dementia (in other words all service providers) to consider a different perspective. That perspective is that different people have different needs (and that is true for us all).
