- Don't You Remember? | A sensitive process, needs a sensitive touch
#026. Mike Cude is a licensed, Registered Respiratory Therapist and healthcare professional for 23 years, and a General Manager in the home care sector for 18 years. He is a Certified Senior Advisor® and Certified Dementia Practitioner who specializes in senior living options and transitional care. He has been advising and working directly with seniors since 1999. A native of Arkansas, Mike has worked around the state throughout the duration of his professional career and is familiar with the offerings and amenities of the majority of the senior living communities, facilities, and agencies within the service area.
Mike spent 20 years in the home care industry; specifically, the DME/Home Medical Equipment industry, as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. During this time, he noticed families who had reached this transitional phase with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. Such as:
- What types of care options are available?
- What can I afford?
- Am I eligible for financial assistance?
- Which communities provide the levels of care that I require?
- Where do I even start?

Theba's YouTube Channel58 min - Don't You Remember? | Gigi's early onset dementia family story
#024. Gigi Gabriel is the Education and Outreach Manager at Alzheimer’s Arkansas. Her caregiving journey began around 10 years ago, when she became a caregiver to her mother with Younger Onset Alzheimer’s. She was a Pastry Chef, under 30 with small children at home. Like many caregivers, she made the decision to leave her career to care for her mother. The past few years, she has been very active with the Alzheimer’s Association, Arkansas Chapter. She has served as Mission Chair for the walk and is currently the AIM Ambassador. She was also chosen to speak about her caregiving experience at their yearly forum in Washington, DC. Through AIM, she was able to testify in front of the Arkansas House and Senate about her experience as a caregiver. The bill passed, and now we have bill HB1434- it creates an Alzheimer’s and dementia advisory council which provides the implementation of a state Alzheimer’s plan. Her passion to help caregivers brought her to Alzheimer’s Arkansas, where she continues to educate and advocate for caregivers.

#017. A change of location for us this morning, but not without drama of course. In between the blowing of the nose, the sun blinding us and the giggles I share a new incident that effected us both deeply in the moment. And though she doesn't remember it I attempt to explain it without upsetting her to give you all a glimpse of how Alzheimer's can present itself if even for a brief time.

Sundowning can cause a variety of behaviors, such as confusion, anxiety, aggression or ignoring directions.

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.
