The key is to really take care of yourself. These personal reflections- and one of them talked about my mom in the evening- would sort of like push me out of the room, go home, go home.

Pete Hill's 'The D Word' is the UK's only radio show dedicated to dementia care, and this episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and emotional support. Pete sits down with Carol B. Amos, a passionate dementia campaigner and author, to discuss her innovative Care Giving Principle.

Pete and Carol dive into the nitty-gritty of patient safety, managing the decline in abilities, and navigating doctor's appointments. They also touch on the tough decisions around moving to assisted living. But it's not all about the patients; Pete emphasizes the importance of self-care for caregivers, reminding us that you can't pour from an empty cup.
