People in the early stages of dementia should be supported to make as many decisions as possible to ensure their future care and support best matches what they would want. Care planning is an important conversation to have, and it should be an ongoing discussion. Proper planning can help to ensure that the wishes of the individual affected will be honored, and to provide peace of mind for loved ones during a difficult time.
