Alzheimer's and Dementia

The need in the community drove Suzanne to form Answers for Elders. Similarly, nationally renowned Alzheimer's and dementia expert Lori La Bey was frustrated by the lack of resources, products, tools, services, and educational support available to families and professionals back when she needed them to help care for her mom. She became committed to make a difference shifting dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world.

Julie Wilkins, Vice President of Clinical Resources at EmpowerMe Wellness, joins Suzanne to talk about their memory program Mindful Living. Mindful Living is used to identify seniors showing memory problems or decreased ability to function in their residence, determine their functional level, educate on coping strategies, and provide non-pharmacological interventions to enhance quality of life and improve their ability to function.

Kelley Smith at CarePartners Senior Living joins Suzanne to discuss how to have the conversation about dementia or Alzheimer's with your senior loved one.
