Getting a dementia diagnosis can feel like the ground drops out from under you. One appointment, one word—and suddenly everything feels uncertain.

If you’re asking, “My loved one has dementia… now what?” this episode is for you.

In this episode, neurology nurse practitioner Rosabel Zohfeld explains what families actually need to focus on during the first 30 to 90 days after a dementia diagnosis. Many caregivers burn out early not because of dementia itself, but because no one explains what matters first, what can wait, and what creates unnecessary stress.

You’ll learn:
• What not to do immediately after diagnosis• Why trying to “fix everything” too quickly makes caregiving harder• The three priorities that stabilize daily life early on• How to reduce friction without removing dignity• Why role confusion often creates family conflict

This episode is part of Rosabel’s dementia education series focused on helping caregivers respond with clarity, steadiness, and compassion as the brain changes.
