The presentation, “Love Is Listening: Healing the Dis-ease of Dementia through “Being With” Care” explores the depth of empathetic communication and what is often overlooked in traditional approaches to giving care; how much of the quality of our lives, while grounded in functional needs, depends finally upon the meeting of our relational needs.
