Those suffering from dementia can feel isolated, excluded and dismissed by the rest of society, and their caregivers can feel overwhelmed and unsupported. Jesus calls Christians to love all our neighbors as ourselves and to care for those who are suffering. As God’s people, we can assist those with dementia and their loved ones to live with dignity, community and peace.
