Fading Memories: Alzheimer's/Dementia Caregiver Support

Alzheimer's: Remembering Their Humanity


Listen Later

This is a rebroadcast of the Humanity Unlocked podcast. I thought that you would enjoy hearing more of my story through the lens of a family just starting on this journey. Humanity Unlocked is a new, independent podcast and it's important to support independent creators like myself.
In this episode we are discussing the topic of Alzheimers disease, and what life look might look like after a loved one receives this diagnosis. My guest today is Jennifer Fink. Jennifer is the host of the podcast Fading Memories. A show focused on sharing advice, wisdom, and hope, for caregivers and by caregivers, of loved ones who are living with Alzheimers. Her real world experience with this subject goes back decades, and today she joins us to share everything she's learned about being a caregiver to a person with Alzheimers disease.
Our Guest:
Let's meet Jennifer! She's a champion for Alzheimer's patients, offering support and advice to caregivers online and in our community. My mom's here too. Her sister's diagnosis last year hit home – it's a disease that can bring a wave of emotions we might not be ready for. When our strong parents need our help, it can be easy to forget the person they are. Today, let's raise awareness and learn to see the person beyond Alzheimer's.
