Redefining Dementia

Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia.

This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories, resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways.

Redefining Dementia is a education podcast hosted by Person Centred Universe, with 22 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.
