Whitney B. Glandon is a senior living program director, as well as a versatile New York City based dance artist, instructor, producer, and choreographer. Whitney was literally born into the senior living community and by the age of nine, she was leading movement classes to the seniors at her grandmother’s long term care communities in N.C. In 2009 Whitney founded Tuesdays@4, an innovative intergenerational program with a mission to bring generations - including seniors living with dementia and Alzheimer's - together through various forms of dance, art, poetry, theatre, improvisation and music inspired by stories and personal experiences.

Whitney's latest project, CAUGHT (Between Two Worlds), is a beautiful collaboration between Whitney, Jodie Berman and Martha Brim that came together through their extensive work in the Senior Living/Dementia Alzheimer's and Dance world. CAUGHT Dance Project is bringing awareness to the disease through dance and personal connections.

Whitney brings a refreshing - important - perspective on seniors living with Alzheimer's and dementia. Her dance programs are proof positive that seniors who have a sense of purpose are happier and healthier. And while they may have Alzheimer's, they don't have to, and shouldn't be, defined by their affliction. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.

"To perceive this [caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's] as a loss in any way, is to really lose the gift of the opportunity."  

This is just one of the many candid insights from Neeyah Lynn Rose Stephens, a Bodyful Mind Educator, Nichiren Buddhist Practioner, Singer/Songwriter, and Personal Assistant for Conservation Photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum. Neeyah is also the daughter and caregiver to her 92 year-old mother, Annabelle, who has Alzheimer's.  But unlike many families, Neeyah is blessed with a supportive and empathetic village who share the caregiving responsibilities. 

Meet Neeyah, her mother, Annabelle, her brother, Charlie, and professional caregiver, Melody who openly share their evolving perspectives on being a caregiver that include gratitude, loving, healing, and what the experience represents to them.  (You might want to have a tissue at the ready!)

Tis the season and we KNOW this time of year can be stressful in the best of times, but it can shoot your cortisol levels through the roof when you're caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia.  A lot of struggle with whether we should buy our loved one a gift or not.  Will they even care?  And if you do, just what kind of gift should you get?? 

Enter our first  guest on our first  episode of LOVE CONQUERS ALZ... Connie Chow, founder of DailyCaring.com, a FABULOUS website and email newsletter that provides free, practical senior care tips that solve everyday challenges. Connie shares some of the top Alzheimer’s Holiday Tips for a more enjoyable season, some of the best gifts for Seniors with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, as well as some great suggestions for Caregivers. (They deserve it!)

Connie shares how her personal relationship with Alzheimer's motivated her to launch her website and finishes up with some basic holiday tips  that we think are invaluable. You're welcome! :)

Happy Holidays!
