The Alzheimer’s Podcast:
Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa
Welcome to Episode 70 of The Alzheimer’s Podcast – Your #1 source for practical tips and insights.
I’m Mike Good of Together in This
My goal is always to empower you and your family to maintain a positive experience, reduce and eliminate the need for unnecessary medications, and make your time together with those you care for, the best it can be.
Prior to last week’s conversation on gratitude, Christy and I discussed some of the misunderstandings about long-term care in episode 68: Reality vs. Promises: Discerning the Differences in Long-term Care
In this episode, we continue that conversation with a discussion on things that often surprise families when they move a loved one into a long-term care community. Don’t forget, we have insider information because Christy has run award-winning memory care communities in assisted living and skilled nursing levels of care.
