“Community meant everything after Nan’s diagnosis” | Michaela’s story
Update: 2025-05-21
Description
When her grandmother, Vanda, was diagnosed with vascular dementia, Michaela felt her world come crashing down. This was the woman who raised her, a role model she’d always looked up to. Feeling powerless and alone, Michaela yearned for community, and a place where dementia wasn’t taboo. A place where her nan could be herself.
When Michaela couldn’t find it, she created it. The Spring Bleau Dementia Cafe was born.
This is a story about finding strength in community after a dementia diagnosis.
