Dementia Management and Care, Robert Francis Fund

About This Fund

Dr. Robert Francis believes that it is extremely important for family and friends to keep loved ones engaged in as many activities as physically possible because, deep inside, they want to stay connected, active, and included. One of the aims of the foundation is to support initiatives designed to support the caregivers and encourage compassion as a way to improve the post-diagnosis experience of those with the illness as well as their support circle.
