My name is Peter Thörngren and I live on the west coast of Sweden close to Gothenburg. I work full-time with quality and improvements for a Swedish private engineering company. I’ve been my wife’s primary caregiver since her first symptoms of pre-dementia about five years ago. She received her Alzheimers diagnosis two years ago at the age of 59, and recently moved in to a full-time care home.
Since my wife’s diagnosis I’ve been in contact with other dementia carers and involved in working groups consisting of dementia carers and experts on supporting individuals with dementia.
I very much believe in networking and sharing experiences and look forward to the exchange in the EDCWG.
Peter was nominated by Swedish Dementia Association.
