Posted: 3/26/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Janelle Taylor (University of Toronto) recently had a summary of her team’s research findings about dementia care was published in The Conversation. The article provides an overview of the team’s recent research. The specific focus is on elders who are experiencing dementia but are “kinless”, which means they have no living spouse or children to care for them. Based on a review of years of medical records by her and her team, Dr. Taylor explores the surprisingly diverse paths that lead people to this situation, as well as the many forms of care they receive, and from whom. She reminds us that such forms of precariousness are both common and unpredictable.
