McGill Cares: Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest

Join us on October 9th at noon for the next McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.  

Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest 

Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest is a road map for navigating a life-changing diagnosis. The book’s authors, Dr. Hsien Seow and Dr. Sammy Winemaker, have identified seven keys to unlock a better illness experience.  They will discuss those keys and how they apply to a diagnosis of dementia.
