About Our Guest - Alexandra Free
Having spent twenty years working in live television I had become a pro at putting out fires when they popped up. No matter how much you may have rehearsed for a show, when the cameras start rolling, you just never know what can happen. Your brain learns to problem solve at warp speed, so that if a situation does arise, you’re usually ready for it.
Although, no amount of prepping could have prepared me for what laid ahead with my mother, I knew I needed a plan. A plan on how I was going to care for her. A plan on how I was going to afford that care. And a plan on how to navigate this new and final chapter of our lives. So, I packed up my life and my TV career in Los Angeles and moved back to the east coast to be closer to her, and to the rest of my family.
Through trial and error and a lot of research, I managed to navigate the next decade of my mother’s care with fortitude and grace. Avoiding being crushed both financially and mentally by the situation, and actually becoming a better and stronger person because of it.
I truly wish you didn’t have to be here. I honestly wish I had never been there myself. But if everything my mother and I went through means that I can help you in some way, shape, or form, then at least it all wouldn’t have been in vain.
xo, Lex

March 04, 2024 Focusing on What's Left: Person-Centered Dementia Care
Focusing on What's Left: The Heart of Person-Centered Dementia Care" emphasizes a shift in perspective towards recognizing and nurturing the remaining abilities and strengths of individuals living with dementia. This approach prioritizes dignity, empathy, and the preservation of identity, fostering a supportive environment where individuals can thrive despite cognitive challenges. By giving focus on what remains rather than dwelling on losses, caregivers can enhance quality of life and promote meaningful connections with those in their care.
By centering attention on the capabilities and interests that persist, caregivers can tailor activities and interventions to align with each individual's unique needs, preferences, and strengths. Targeted focusing enables caregivers to cultivate moments of joy, purpose, and connection, enhancing the overall well-being of those living with dementia. By acknowledging and amplifying what remains, Focusing on What's Left" promotes a more holistic and enriching approach to dementia care, centered on the enduring essence of each person.
That's the topic of this week's guest with The Dementia Nurse, Donna Marentey

February 13, 2024 Dementia: Signs, Symptoms & Stories of Lewy Body
Dementia: Signs, Symptoms & Stories of Lewy Body. Dementia is a complex neurological condition that encompasses a range of cognitive impairments affecting memory, reasoning, and daily functioning. One specific form of dementia is Lewy body dementia (LBD), characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of LBD is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.
Common signs of Lewy Body dementia (LBD) include fluctuating cognitive abilities, visual hallucinations, and motor symptoms such as Parkinsonism. Patients may experience vivid and often distressing hallucinations, adding a unique dimension to their cognitive decline. Additionally, individuals with LBD may exhibit difficulties with attention and problem-solving, further impacting their daily lives.
Sharing Stories as a Form of Advocacy
Stories of those affected by Lewy body dementia shed light on the emotional and practical challenges faced by patients and their caregivers. These narratives emphasize the importance of fostering a supportive environment, raising awareness, and promoting research to better understand and address this specific form of dementia. By sharing these stories, we aim to enhance public understanding and empathy toward individuals living with Lewy body dementia, ultimately contributing to a more compassionate and informed society.
Our guest is Mary Lou Falcone an internationally known classical music publicist/strategist. Combining communication skills with her background as a performer and educator Mary Lou adds another layer: advocate for LBD awareness. Her late husband, the illustrator Nicky Zann, died from LBD in 2020 and was the catalyst for her first book, I Didn't See It Coming.
