Jules' story: Dementia swept through our family

AlzAuthors

description

My first interaction with dementia was with my uncle, Cyril. He didn’t have any children, so I was like a daughter to him. One time when I visited Cyril, he was eating a can of cold beans. It turned out that his cooker hadn’t worked for four weeks, and he had forgotten how to use his phone to call and ask for help. Cyril was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2018, aged 78. I used to drive 120 miles to where he lived to care for him after work.
