My husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia 9 years ago. Sadly Tony is now in a nursing home at end stage and your film evoked so many memories and events that are so familiar they made me cry. I appreciate that every case and diagnosis varies greatly but found that your film highlighted the similarities that I believe every patient and family go through. I have given a some talks via Cambridgeshire crisis team to student mental health nurses, carers and managers, I call it Living well with dementia, until you can't. I hope that this film is sent to every crisis team and mental health training establishment in the UK because I believe it shows how empathy and patience is paramount to caring for our loved ones who have this devastatingly sad diagnosis.
