"When a person diagnosed with dementia is asked to stop working, they do not just lose an income. They have lost a big chunk of their identity which they have developed over the years, as well as their daily purpose for life."

"Employment helps people with dementia have purpose in life."

"Gaining employment provides us the independence and ability to sustain our daily needs; be it for ourselves or to support our family and not depend on handouts. Having dementia does not mean we are no longer able to work. Work gives us the opportunity to interact with colleagues, makes us feel independent and help us feel useful."
