Caring for someone with dementia is a deeply personal—and often overwhelming—journey. In this powerful seminar, dementia expert Tam Cummings, PhD offers practical, real-world insight and a clear roadmap to surviving as a caregiver.

You’ll gain tools to:

• Identify the turning points in the dementia journey before crisis hits

• Learn how to protect your health before burnout takes over

• Recognize when home care is no longer safe — for them or for you

• Understand the emotional toll of “doing it all” — and how to let go of guilt

• Discover what memory care truly provides — and how to know when it’s time

Whether you're new to caregiving or years into the role, this seminar offers support, clarity, and validation when you need it most.

Dr. Cummings has spent over 25 years educating families, long-term care teams, and professionals on how to recognize and respond to the progression of dementia. Her presentations are practical, research-informed, and delivered in everyday language that empowers families to plan with confidence. She is especially known for her straightforward and compassionate approach that cuts through confusion and helps caregivers feel seen, heard, and capable.
