These resources were translated with support from a translation service. While caregivers who read Simplified and Traditional Chinese contributed to the development of these resources, language is complex and terms and phrases may differ based on region and dialect. We welcome any feedback to improve our translated resources. Please email forwardwithdementia@the-ria.ca. Please note that throughout the resources we use the term “caregivers” when referring to family members, friends, or others who support a person living with dementia. Forward with Dementia acknowledges that some prefer the term “care partner” as it captures that people living with dementia can be actively involved in their own care. However, caregivers that contributed to these resources explained that the term “care partner” may not translate well or may not be commonly used within their community.
