Desperately Seeking Senior Living

Types of Dementia and Their Affect on Your Search for Senior Living and Care - Ep 123

Despite the fact that dementia is a very individual disease - and that symptoms may vary - many memory care communities will not even consider a new resident with a Lewy body, Frontotemporal, Vascular or Alcohol Related Dementia diagnosis. They won’t even look at their medications or doctors notes.
This week we're looking at some of the symptoms of the different types of Dementia including Alzheimer's and why it can be more difficult to find care.

In this episode we're talking about why it might not be a good idea to NOT disclose and when it might be ok.

Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Driving - Ep 118

There are things in life we take for granted…like driving. We jump in our car and take off to the grocery store without a thought. Loss of independence is one of the top things seniors report they fear. Not being able to drive is one of the biggest representations of that loss. So what are you supposed to do when you fear your loved one isn’t safe behind the wheel? In this episode, we’re talking about how to approach this conversation and what other families have done.

Can Families Provide Care in Assisted Living? - Ep 116

Caregiving is such a difficult job…It comes with so many emotions…loss, guilt, frustration, anger, sadness and fear. Despite your reasons for being a caregiver…there often comes a day when you make that move to assisted living.
