Show Notes
For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to Rashmi Paun, aged 77, in Brighton. Rashmi, a former physics teacher, initially put his memory problems down to age but was later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Rashmi had always had a way with numbers, but his wife Maggie soon had to take on more daily tasks, including the couple's finances.
Maggie says it was difficult to navigate life after a diagnosis, with 'no clear roadmap', and she is grateful for support from local groups and charities.
Listen to find out more about Rashmi and Maggie's experience.
