  • Part 2: Features the experiences of two doctors from the community caring for family members with dementia, as well as the cultural stigmas and the critical need for more culturally responsive support systems.
  • Part 3: Discusses resources, support systems, long-term care options, and end-of-life planning for people living dementia within the community, and highlights the critical need for more research in this demographic.
