- Don't You Remember? | Thanksgiving's Extra Helping of Friendship
#036. When both my parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's - in the same year and living separately I might add - I needed all the help I could get. The first person I reached out to was my dear friend, Anne Jansen. I had listened to her journey as she walked with both of her aging parents through some tough transitions. Her father passed from Parkinson's and mother passed away from Alzheimer's. This Thanksgiving I wanted to honor her for always being a light to me. And our extra side dish during the podcast, mom interacts with us at the end and is her delightful self.

#31. Janet Keller and her crew help move family members or friends who have physical issues or Alzheimers into new spaces and the special needs they may have at that time. Her company is called JanetOnTheSpot or JOTS.
After a 30-year career in advertising and public relations, Janet started her company 4 1/2 years ago. Her goal is to help people make smooth transitions in their lives through getting organized, decluttering, downsizing, and in many cases moving to new locations.
She began JOTS after seeing the challenges her Dad faced when he became ill and had to move to out of his home into an assisted living facility. She made arrangements so that the move was “done in a day” with no need for her Dad to be involved.
Janet and her crew members now help people around the United Stares take care of their family members who have special needs, such as Alzheimer patients, so that their move to a new space is seamless. They literally handle everything from A to Z because their clients’ needs are so unique and individual.

About "Don't You Remember?"
From the publisher's feed
"Don't you remember?" They are three common words. Yet, when spoken too often, they’re cause for alarm. When your loved ones begin their journey into dementia, your own life-altering pilgrimage is…
set in motion. The path holds countless challenges including grief, despair, and joy: often all in a single day. The fear of not knowing what to do first can be overwhelming. For me, being proactive instead of reactive was empowering. Through these podcasts, I hope to give you tools in the form of resources and shared experiences, so you realize you’re not alone. I’m Theba. For the past 25 years, I have worked in TV News. I’m also the daughter of parents who lived in two different states, Illinois and Arkansas, when each were diagnosed with dementia in the same year. I entered into a season of intense anxiety and helplessness. I’d seen a few movies about older adults having memory problems and the sadness and difficulties their families faced, but I felt far removed from that reality. In my family cancer and old age claimed my relatives. The word dementia was new to me until an aggressive form of the disease took my father. I was the sole caregiver for my mother who lived with Alzheimer’s until her death in 2024. Though very difficult, the struggles of caring for parents with dementia have also revealed great joy! I started sharing my experiences on television during the pandemic of 2020. In my heart, I knew there were many just like me trying to understand and adapt to caring for a loved one. The people I’ve met along the way have offered life-changing advice and support. My mission now is to encourage you on your own journey. I know God has been my strength and hope along the way and has led me to this new season of sharing so that you too can find comfort from those who do remember.
