Participants share their experience

Two family caregivers want to share their personal experiences of participating in Homeside. Martin Kresse took part in the music program with his wife, and Cornelia Hansmann took part in the reading program with her mother. Read their accounts below.

They first shared their stories during a workshop in Germany in April 2022. The audience consisted of the international research team and workshop attendees. Their reports give a valuable insight into experiences of living with dementia and participating in the study. Thank you for your openness and for allowing us to share your experiences with the music and reading activities with a larger audience here on our website.
