Sharon Hall, an FTD care partner and Rebekah Wilson, MSW, The Aging Care Coach (agingcarecoach.com) will discuss what has been in the news a lot lately, intimacy and love in the middle of dementia.

B Smith has Alzheimer's, and a recent article about her husband having a female companion who he brings into their home and who also helps with B's care has caused quite a curfuffle. This subject is brought up a lot in the FTD community because so many are so young and have a full life ahead of them, beyond care parterning for their spouse.

Let's get this out in the open and talk about it. Rebekah has talked about sex and dementia and she will share her insights. Sharon will share how she feels about this, as well. Join us for an open, honest discussion. If this is not your cup of tea, please understand this will be R rated.
