In this heartfelt episode of Fighting Dementia Podcast, we hear from Frank, sharing his perspective as a carer supporting his wife Fran through her dementia journey. Frank opens up about the gradual changes he noticed, how they’ve adapted their daily life together, and the importance of maintaining normalcy while accepting their new reality.

We’re also joined by Dean McShane, a mental health senior lecturer and director of Merseyside Dementia Friendly Radio – the UK’s first DAB dementia-friendly radio station. Dean shares fascinating insights about the power of music as a therapeutic intervention for people with dementia, explaining how personalized playlists can be more effective than medication in reducing agitation and improving quality of life.
