The NCALL team recently discussed an episode of The Daily podcast called “The Mother Who Changed: A Story of Dementia.” While this family’s story illustrates many of the thorny issues that commonly face older adults and the people who love them, at its core are fundamental questions about identity, agency, and how we best support the people we love.
