Jane Unzetig
I am a seasoned Registered Nurse with both personal and professional experience with dementia. My mother lived with brain change long before our family recognized the symptoms. We did the best we could with our limited knowledge. Could we have handled things better? For Sure! I have dedicated my life to helping others learn about dementia so they don’t make the same mistakes we made.
