The Dramatic Impact of Dementia Care on the Family Caregiver

The Dramatic Impact of Dementia Care on the Family Caregiver

Today on  "Live With the Dementia Whisperer" we will be discussing the need for caregivers to reach out for help no matter where  they are on their dementia journey.

Join us as we premiere our new segment, "News and Views from the World of Dementia", as we discuss the surprising way your dreams can estimate your risk of dementia and a new Alzheimer’s Association survey revealing the dramatic impact of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias on families.  Even though most caregivers agree that it takes a village to care for a loved one with dementia, most still try to go it alone-and often with devastating consequences.  We will be sharing resources, tools and strategies to assist in your dementia care journey.

Our guest today is Alden Turold, the Operations Manager for AccentCare.  Alden will be discussing this amazing organization's programs and services, and how they are an essential resource to help with the overwhelming impact on the family member caring for a loved one with dementia in their own home.  And together we will be discussing our partnership to raise dementia-awareness for everyone in our community, across the nation and around the world!

Call in with comments, personal stories, views and opinions and questions about your dementia journey during our hour-we would love to hear from you.  1-929-477-1393
