Caregiver Ally: Why Vetted Community is Your Secret Weapon

Listen Later

In a world of shifting policies and "Wild West" internet searches, how do you find the truth? This episode dives into the recent major changes in the caregiver support world, including the transition of AlzAuthors under the leadership of All Home Care Matters. We move past the industry headlines to focus on the human element: why community is the only thing that keeps a caregiver sane when the ground is shifting.

Inside the Conversation:
  • Vetting the Noise: Why "human-filtered" information is the best defense against the costly misinformation and false promises targeting caregivers today.
  • The Power of Storytelling: How memoirs and fiction provide the "me too" moments and emotional escape that medical manuals simply cannot offer.
  • The "First 48" Strategy: Lance shares his personal journey of being "new to the wheel" and why professional healthcare often misses the human needs of the family.
  • Bridging the Gap for 2026: As the "Silver Tsunami" peaks, we discuss how veterans can support the massive new wave of caregivers entering the trenches this year.
