Dementia diagnoses a relief for Napier man, now to live well

From First Up, 5:21 am on 19 September 2019

Alister Robertson of Napier says that in some ways, it was a relief when he was diagnosed with dementia, because at least he knew what he was dealing with. September is World Alzheimers Awareness month and its focus this year is overcoming the stigma associated with dementia. As part of our First Up dementia series, Alister Robertson spoke to our reporter Anusha Bradley about his experience and how he manages to cope.
