What are your thoughts there, my friend?
16:04
Well, 100% with you in that when someone's diagnosed with dementia or you suspect they have dementia or anything, let's be honest, we want to respect their dignity and independence as much as we possibly can.
16:17
That is the core of being a good caregiver is how do we help support this person's dignity and independence as much as we possibly can while supporting their safety.
16:26
Obviously, that's an important part of it.
16:29
But when someone is diagnosed with dementia, We, for the first four or five things we want you to do, and we've laid out what we want you to do.
16:39
We want you to do that whole, those, all those steps side by side with the person living with dementia.
16:46
We want you to update legal documents.
19:25
So I'm curious to ask you about the importance of communication when deciding whether a loved one who's been diagnosed with dementia or alzheimer's cannot longer live at home because that's one of the more most important kind of decisions families can have would you agree with that my friend

15:17
Another area.
15:18
So let's talk about other, another government free resource, the Veterans Administration.
15:22
Your loved one is a veteran.
15:24
You can get free resources, free caregiving support from the DA.
15:28
They have lots of different programs.
