    When Memory Fades: Real Talk on Alzheimer’s & Caregiving

    Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming, emotional and often confusing.  In this episode, Jenny D interviews Gina Iuliucci about Alzheimer’s and other dementias—what they are, how they differ from normal aging, common early signs, risk factors, testing and emerging treatments, and why early diagnosis matters. Gina felt called with her experience to make a greater impact by creating a company dedicated to meeting caregivers where they are — offering clarity, support, and practical strategies during one of the most difficult journeys a family can face. At Dementia Care Solutions, her mission is simple: to empower caregivers with knowledge, reduce the sense of isolation, and provide hope and confidence in caring for someone living with dementia. The episode focuses on practical support for caregivers: communication strategies, resources, support groups, music therapy benefits, and Gina’s Dementia Care Solutions consulting and training services to help families navigate diagnosis and daily care. https://dementia-care-solutions.com/ June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month and I would like to thank my Spotlight Supporters.
