Nikki Jardin joins the Aging Today Podcast and shares her personal story of how her aunt's dementia led to the creation of Mirador Magazine. Nikki says, “‘Mirador’ is a Spanish word that means a vantage point, a balcony, or a lookout, which is what we would like to provide. I would like our pages to be places where readers can take in a vast landscape and zero in on various points of interest at their leisure and pace.”

Our guest, Liz Cloete, understands that helping someone living with dementia is hard enough, but doing so without constant stress or feeling overwhelmed can be even harder. It requires a whole new way of thinking about your dementia caregiving journey. This doesn’t come naturally to people because it goes against our natural inclinations. Like any life-altering diagnosis - including dementia - caregiving is about doing the right things in the right ways at the right times.

In Part 4 of our series finale focusing on Elder Rights & Quality of Life, we re-join with Kim Best, owner of Best Conflict Solutions, LLC. Kim leads us in a lively discussion on elders and their right to a standard of living. We also address participation in community and institutionalization. During our time together, we explore the balance between elder rights, activities, and having a social life with the tendency for institutional settings to impose restrictions. This is also known as gatekeeping.
