Bobbi and Mike are off for Christmas, therefore, we are reposting an important previous episode with Ms. Kay Bransford where we talk about Powers of Attorney, Money Manager vs. Financial Advisor, and taking care of the financial aspects of your loved ones.

Kay took care of her parents’ finances when they were diagnosed with dementia and that experience led her to pursue a passion of helping other families prepare for the financial aspects of caregiving.  She has an award-winning blog called Dealing With Dementia (link below), is the founder of MemoryBanc which is a money management business, and the author of a best-selling book, MemoryBank: Your Workbook for Organizing Your Life.

Because dad eats breakfast later, maybe he's not hungry at dinner time. As we get older and as our metabolism slows down, food moves slower through our system. And where we might think, boy, he should be hungry by now, he may not be. The key here is to be flexible.

Listen to the episode to hear some things you may want to consider.

To caregivers out there who hear this and think, well, this could never happen with my family member. It absolutely could. And women are capable of behaving inappropriately, just as men can. Women also lose their inhibitions. This is a real possibility and even probability and this is one of those scenarios people don't often talk about, one of those things that others tend to avoid.

As we have stated many times here on Dementia Spotlight, and on our previous podcast, Rodger That, our goal is to educate caregivers and provide them with as many tools for success as possible.

In today's episode, we are joined by Laura Wayman, aka, The Dementia Whisperer. She is an accomplished keynote speaker, author, trainer, and a dedicated Gerontologist.  We touch on emotions, feelings of security and safety and how a dementia diagnosis doesn't mean the inability to do things.
