Beyond grateful for this podcast
I have 2 loved ones with dementia- my stepfather and my grandmother. This podcast is sooo helpful! Thank you thank you thank you a million times over. I feel hopeful that the information I'm getting from this podcast will be vital tools for me to support my loved ones moving forward
Bite sized nuggets of essential info
I cannot recommend this dementia podcast enough! The episodes are short to the point focused on a specific topic. This is not an interview format with multiple people talking. It is Bre’anna in her kind soothing voice providing you with specific easy to understand bite sized nuggets of valuable information. So thankful I found this podcast!
