Speaking of Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's in the LGBTQ Community


Listen Later

Today we’re joined by Barbara Meehan from Wareham, MA, a former caregiver for her late partner Faye who launched an LGBTQ caregivers support group. We’re also joined by Neil Babitch, a member of Barbara’s support group and caregiver for his partner Roger. The two share their experiences navigating their journey with the disease as members of the LGBTQ community, and how the support group has helped create a safe, inclusive environment. We also discuss the unique challenges when placing a loved one in a long-term care facility.
