In this compelling first episode of a four-part series, RuthAnn introduces her friend Shawn, a former volunteer firefighter who became an unexpected caregiver for his neighbor, Robert, an elderly man who lived alone in a remote area. Shawn shares how their friendship started and tells some pretty vivid stories, many involving Robert’s hazardous driving, that illustrate the dangers dementia posed to Robert and the public. With Robert’s only relative living on the other side of the country, Shawn and his wife chose to step up. 

These stories highlight why dementia and Alzheimer’s demand care and attention, especially to our aging population. RuthAnn, who cared for her late husband through his dementia diagnosis, hosts this unique story.
