Caregiving Reimagined

My name is Dr. Claudia Cassidy Bennett. I've spent over 40 years as an occupational therapist, the last 15 working specifically with family caregivers navigating one of life's most demanding journeys. I've also lived this alongside you, caring for my own mother through Alzheimer's. I've learned what caregivers actually need: practical help, honest support, and someone who genuinely gets it. Until you’re part of the club, it’s hard to understand. We'll tackle the everyday challenges — bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, medication management, and doctors’ appointments. We'll go deep into the emotional and spiritual side of caregiving that rarely gets talked about. You'll hear real stories from real caregivers. And yes — we'll laugh too. At the missteps, at the unexpected things our loved ones do, at the moments that are equal parts exhausting and absurd. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Because caregiving can be a messy job — physically and emotionally. Caregiving is not just something that happens to you. It is an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your loved one, to deepen your spirituality, and to discover a level of self-awareness you never knew was possible. Being the caregiver you want to be — and are proud to be.
