Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.   The Caregiver's Journal is the show where we are sharing the caregiving experiences, stories, and wisdom of family caregivers.   Chapter 9 - "Inspired Care":   About Kathleen Quinn, EdD, MBA.: Kathleen Quinn, EdD, MBA, currently serves as the associate vice president for strategic projects at Maryville University in St. Louis and is the founder and president of Kay Inspired, LLC and inventor of the patented Mobility Towel. Her 35+ years in higher education provided opportunities to positively impact students’ lives and helped fuel her passion for creating impactful solutions for individuals that genuinely made a difference for others. Aside from her impressive career in education, Kathleen’s inventive journey began with a personal story—one marked by love, empathy, and determination.   Kathleen developed the Mobility Towel, an innovative product inspired by her mother, Kay, who battled Rheumatoid Arthritis. This creation was driven by Kathleen’s desire to help her mother maintain her functional independence and dignity in daily activities, such as drying off after a shower. The Mobility Towel, designed with unique features like weighted ends and handles, allows individuals to dry their backs, legs, and feet unassisted and without straining, thus catering to those with limited mobility due to aging, surgery recovery, or chronic conditions.   Kathleen’s achievements in academia and entrepreneurship reflect her passion for empowering individuals through compassionate and inventive approaches. Her vision and dedication make her a key figure in discussions about caregiving, inclusive design, and the intersection of health and innovation.

    Irene Walker Author of "Forgiving the Man Who Forgot: Grateful Gratitude Attitude"

    All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton  were honored to welcome Irene Walker the Author of "Forgiving the Man Who Forgot: Grateful Gratitude Attitude" as guest to the show.     About Irene Walker:   Irene Walker is a strong and resilient woman who has faced significant personal challenges. Losing her husband to early-onset dementia is an incredibly difficult experience, and yet, her ability to maintain success in her career and continue to raise her children while managing life’s complexities speaks to her inner strength.   Irene strongly believes in practicing gratitude daily. Her background in business administration and financial risk has helped her navigate the uncertainties that come with managing both her professional life and the demands of her personal circumstances. Despite her professional achievements, it's clear that her personal journey has been deeply transformative.     About "Forgiving the Man Who Forgot: Grateful Gratitude Attitude":     We left the doctor's office and my head started spinning. I couldn't remember where I had parked the car. Quite miraculously, Robert managed to navigate us to the correct floor of the parking garage. I felt that all hope had been sucked out of me. I had been struggling to cope since our last appointment with the family doctor, but receiving this final blow was brutal. I put my left hand on the side of the car, leaned over, and threw up. It was just bile. I had to push something out of me--denial, anger, angst--I didn't know. I only knew that I needed it out. I wiped my mouth, my snotty nose and my tear-stained face with jittery hands and then leaned heavily against the back of the car. I took a long, shaky breath in and out in an attempt to pull myself together.     So began the journey with her husband who is diagnosed with early onset Dementia at the age of 51. Forgiving The Man Who Forgot carries the reader along one woman's journey of love, gratitude, honesty, disappointment and courage, detailing her life before, during and after her husband's diagnosis of early onset dementia. Reading this memoir, the reader feels as though the author is sitting across from them and sharing the ups and downs of her life, over a glass of wine or cup of coffee.
