Today, he\u2019s encouraged to see that change. As an African Nova Scotian, Taylor says his lived experience shapes how he supports residents living with Alzheimer&#8217;s and other forms of dementia, helping him recognize cultural nuances that build comfort and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Education has been central to his approach. Having seen dementia impact his own family and community, he often finds himself helping others understand the disease and what their loved ones may be experiencing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a recreation programmer, Taylor finds purpose in the small moments. \u201cIf someone gets something out of what I do each day, that\u2019s all I need,\u201d he
