A loved one's memory loss is one of the most painful experiences for family caregivers, who care for the 5.7 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Logan Wells was about 12 when his grandmother was diagnosed. The Lexington-based teen joined several family members and friends in her round-the-clock care. But, Logan quickly realized that their homemade system was too confusing. So he turned to technology, taught himself how to code and developed CareZare, an app some caregivers now rely on.
Guests:
Logan Wells —Twenty-year-old Lexington, Mass., native and creator of the CareZare app.
Liz O’Donnell — Author of "Working Daughter" and a local caregiving advocate.
Chad Burns — Retention manager for Benefit Resource Incorporated, and longtime CareZare app user.
Later in the show:
Boston's official poetry ambassadors are out to make poetry fans of all of us. These days, it's an easier task for Boston's Poet Laureate and Boston's first ever Youth Poet Laureate, because there is a vibrant worldwide movement embracing poetry. April is National Poetry Month, so we're celebrating with these two young women who have mastered one of art's oldest forms of expression.
Guests:
Porsha Olayiwola - the City of Boston’s current Poet Laureate and author of "I Shimmer Sometimes, Too."
Alondra Bobadilla – the City of Boston’s first ever Youth Poet Laureate, and junior at Fenway High School.
