Dementia Discussions

The dynamics of caregiving for different family members


Listen Later

Barbara kicks off today's episode with a question for you: Would you (or someone you know) like to help other caregivers by sharing your caregiving story on Dementia Discussions? If so, Barbara would love to hear from you! Call or text: 310-362-8232. Next, Barbara welcomes facility placement specialist Stacy Brooks. Stacy’s company, Heart Light, helps place seniors in assisted living facilities. Stacy also knows first-hand how much the right living situation can improve someone's life. An only child whose parents divorced 50 years ago, Stacy talks to Barbara about how different her experiences have been -- first helping to care for her father, who died in 2014, and now her mother, suffers from early to moderate dementia. They discuss the value of assisted living and how, for certain dementia patients, moving in with others can vastly improve their condition, mood, and quality of life.
