I decided, a few weeks ago, to take a break from retirement and do something productive. I wanted to be helpful, so I started working part-time at a memory care unit in an assisted living facility. Having NO experience in the matter, once I made my choice, I started binge listening to this podcast (as well as one other) and watching You Tube videos on the subject. I started work last month and having the knowledge I gained from you has been helpful beyond words! I see other caretakers who get upset and tell me about residents who are “difficult,” but thanks to you, as a brand new employee, I am often able to diffuse the situation. I just wish new caretakers were trained on how to do their jobs, vs. just being thrown into the mix.

I have already found techniques which are helpful as I am learning to care for my husband. Thank you for such a positive approach!

Terrific clearly explained Alzheimer’s genes but also other late onset dementias. I’m a care taker of an 81 year old man who has suddenly become afflicted with rapid dementia. These podcasts have helped me tremendously. Younger people need to pay attention because they can make changes now.

Thank You! I love the pocket sized podcasts on the various topics that can help me through the current situation we’re going through in my Grandma’s dementia journey. I immediately found myself sharing specific episodes to family members.

My dad has dementia and hopefully this will help me out. Lately it’s been kinda hard to deal with it so I’m looking for some tips to help my dad.

This is a must for anyone living with dementia. I am a caregiver by profession and find this podcast extremely helpful

This podcast has helped me tremendously as I adjust to life with dementia after my mother's diagnosis. Practical, professional, and above all caring. Highly recommended!

I really want to thank you both much. The healthcare industry has changed. Doctors that really are experts are hard to find. And Thank You for always discussing forward thinking/planning about money!! 🙌 Great Show

Thanks for such helpful insight ladies! I’m going to recommend your podcast (and explain ‘what the heck is a podcast?’) to our care giver support group at my memory care ALF! I can’t wait to write in with some questions and comments from the group.
