    Preparing for the More Advanced Phases of the Caregiving Journey

    In this episode we discuss how caregivers can ‘prepare themselves’ for the more advanced phases of their caregiving journey, how to communicate next steps with family and support systems, and how to take care of yourself throughout this process. We also discuss how to make talking about next steps and “the end” more comfortable and less taboo.

    Exercise, Movement & Caregiving

    In this episode, we discuss the importance of exercise and movement for our loved ones. We explore how to motivate them to exercise, various types of activities and exercises to try, and equally important, the significance of movement and exercise for the caregivers themselves.   For more information about episodes, links to resources, and to give us your thoughts and ideas for new topics, visit https://www.experiencesincaregiving.com/

    Having the Difficult Discussions about Caregiving

    This month we discuss how we approach the difficult discussions of caregiving (i.e. Power of Attorney (POA) considerations, live-saving measures, care facility, in-home care etc) with our elderly loved ones, our families, and others on our care team. Sometimes these conversations are meant with anger, sadness, suspicion, or an outright refusal to have the discussion all together.  We discuss ways to break through and put a care plan in place to hopefully avoid chaos later.   For more information about episodes, links to resources, and to give us your thoughts and ideas for new topics, visit https://www.experiencesincaregiving.com/

We discuss communication styles, how best to support a caregiver, and how caregivers can compensate when their allies can’t or won’t support them.  For more information about episodes, links to resources, and to give us your thoughts and ideas for new topics, visit https://www.experiencesincaregiving.com/

    Brain Health & The Frustration of Getting a Diagnosis

    This month we discuss the upcoming “era of treatment” in relation to brain health and the frustration caregivers feel when trying to get a diagnosis, in particular the correct diagnosis, so that they can make plans and get out in front of dementia with treatments, medications, etc. We also discuss ways caregivers can approach primary doctors and neurologists in hopes of getting heard and getting the info they need.   For more information about episodes, links to resources, and to give us your thoughts and ideas for new topics, visit https://www.experiencesincaregiving.com/
