Jennifer’s husband Patrick developed dementia and she found during this difficult time that managing both her caring responsibilities whilst running the farm and prioritising which tasks needed to be done was a significant challenge.

While Jennifer had access to a wide range of information and support, she found there was a lack of farm-specific information to help her.  

The booklet contains useful information drawing from Jennifer’s experiences, including support she received from FCN, as well as her ideas for visits to the care home and a checklist which could be useful to other people on farms caring for people with dementia and memory loss.
