In honor of it being National Volunteers Week, today we're talking to Cindy Hession - scientist by day, hiker and volunteer chair for the 48 Peaks Hike to End Alzheimer's every other waking moment she can manage!Cindy and I talk about her love affair with the White Mountains and hiking, her personal connection with Alzheimer's, and how the 48 Peaks fundraiser grew out of one man's devotion to his wife. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this event will pour through your earbuds and make it obvious why Cindy was recognized with a national award earlier this year for her volunteerism.To lend my support to Cindy AND the 48 Peaks initiative, I have started a fundraising team called Guides Gone Wildcats, and we are going to hike Wildcat A (and D on the way there, for all you peak-baggers!)

He shares stories about their family, his childhood, and the hurdles of caregiving. Like so many caregivers, his journey began in a critical moment when a call from the dentist about his father's health prompted Carlos to become his main caregiver, putting his career and personal life on hold. This move highlights the deep value of family and the extensive sacrifices caregivers make.In the discussion, Carlos talks about quitting his job due to the lack of remote work opportunities in his sector. His decision was driven by a sense of familial duty and a desire to support his father. He notes the impact on his social life and the guilt over not choosing professional care. Carlos emphasizes the importance of seeking help, overcoming obstacles, and personal development in the caregiving journey. He also discusses the role of male caregivers, the use of humor to maintain connections, and the formation of a support network, praising his dad's girlfriend's positive impact. Offering advice to fellow caregivers, Carlos stresses the significance of accepting mistakes, practicing self-care, and gratitude, and the lessons he continues to learn from his father.About Carlos:Carlos Olivas, a family man and caregiver, began a transformative journey in 2015 by leaving his career to care for his father with Geriatric Alzheimer's & Dementia. As a Caring Across Generations fellow, Alzheimers Association advocate, and Into the Dark Blue men's group ambassador, he passionately promotes compassionate caregiving and mental health awareness.

Memories can bring us happiness but they can also be a constant reminder of the loss that we've experienced. Grief can change and evolve from moment to moment. No one can predict how we will experience grief and how others will respond.   My guest today is Patti LaFleur, she is a former care partner for her mom, Linda, who had mixed dementia. Eventually, Linda came to live with Patti, and the two shared "love, fun, and joy" every day. She continues to honor her mom by sharing her story and changing the stigma around dementia.   Patti has a large following on social media and shows us how we can truly connect with our loved ones, hold space for grief, and share joyful moments along the way. She continues her advocacy as a volunteer and community educator with the Alzheimers Association, Caring Across Generations, and other organizations that empower and encourage care partners. Thank you, Patti, for sharing all you've learned about love, loss, and compassion- I know your mom was your biggest cheerleader and she is smiling from above. Through it all, the love remains and you are spreading it everywhere. Thank you!   Patti shares about: Why she chooses to share her story of caring for her mom How she is changing the stigma around dementia What she wishes others would understand about grief How our relationships can change and evolve as we grieve What not to say to someone grieving The ways we can support others in their grief Navigating the holidays and special events in grief Honoring our boundaries and personal journey in grief Her favorite times with her mom     About Patti LaFleur   Patti LaFleur is the former care partner for her Mom, Linda, who had mixed dementia. She cared for her Mom for three years. These two were the perfect duo. They shared fun, love and joy together every day.

African Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's or one of the other dementias, but only half as likely to get a proper diagnosis and access support resources. Caring for a family member with Alzheimer's can have a significant impact on a family. It is an incredibly challenging journey and without support resources it can be devastating. Full Circle guests Karla Fields and Rev. Kwasi Thornell stopped by the Full Circle studio to share critical information with the African American community to make sure families are know they are supported and can connect to vital to services.

La trayectoria educacional de Licet Valois empezó gracias a las interacciones que tuvo desde niña con sus abuelos en Colombia. En Colombia, ella estudio Trabajo Social en la universidad. Cuando llego a los Estados Unidos, estudio psicología y sus posgrados los concentro en el trabajo con personas mayores y en el campo de la demencia. Hace ocho años trabaja con la Asociación de Alzheimers en la ciudad de Nueva York. El trabajo que desempeña es multifacético. Ella provee educación, consejería privada, en grupo y además proporciona apoyo a clientes con demencia y sus familias conectándolos con otros profesionales y servicios. Durante la entrevista conversamos sobre las familias latinas, nuestra fama como cuidadores y como ciertas creencias han perdurado aquí en los Estados Unidos. También se platicó sobre los problemas que algunos confrontan como cuidadores de familia. Y como la dinámica familiar ha cambiado en ciertas familias, influenciado por países y culturas ajenas.    Por último, hablamos de la importancia de buscar ayuda y apoyo, y de abogar no solamente por las necesidades del familiar padeciendo la demencia, pero también los del cuidador. Los recursos existen, pero consiste en uno ir a conseguirlos.  Y enfatizamos como la planificación anticipada es clave para una vida y vejez más tranquila para toda la familia.   Es una entrevista que lo pone uno a pensar en las cosas importantes de la vida. Vale la pena oír el episodio y difundirla a su familia y amigos.   Si viven en la ciudad de Nueva York. se pueden comunicar con Licet mediante el Alzheimers Association of New York https://www.alz.org/nyc/about_us/staff_listing  y si desean más información sobre la demencia pueden acudir a este sitio de web que los puede conectar con servicios en su estado https://www.alz.org/   Si quieren conocer mas sobre el podcast, pueden encontrar más información en https://www.agingwiselypodcast.com

SUMMARY In The Problem of Alzheimer's: How Science, Culture, and Politics Turned a Rare Disease into a Crisis and What We Can Do About It, Jason Karlawish, physician and writer, combines deep research with personal practice as Co-Director of the Penn Memory Center. Part case studies, part history, part present assessment, and part future projection, Karlawish’s book presents a strong argument for recognizing Alzheimer’s disease as a crisis. However, listing numerous biomedical breakthroughs, political gains, technological innovations, and formalized help agencies, the author leaves the issue shimmering with hope. We can, in fact, assign dignity to dementia, support caregivers and loved ones, and help patients reclaim autonomy and self of self. KEY TERMS, EVENTS, AND PEOPLE Dementia – disabling cognitive impairments (memory, attention, concentration, multitasking) Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) – noticeable cognitive impairments causing inefficiencies in daily activities, but not disability Alzheimer’s Disease – one of the most common diseases of the brain causing dementia and MCI The Alzheimer’s Association – formed as a self-help group in late 20th century by seven families incensed by the poor quality of care of absence of support for patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease The National Alzheimer’s Project Act – enacted by Obama authorizing Congress to have all Federal agencies to come together to create a national Alzheimer’s plan The “founding fathers and mothers” of Alzheimer’s – early 20th century included mostly German-speaking psychiatrists and neuropathologists; late 20th century included women caring for family members who, encountering an indifferent healthcare system, formed self-help groups Robert Katzman - wrote “the essay heard round the world” reframing senile dementia as Alzheimer’s disease Jerry Stone – wealthy Chicagoan whose wife had Alzheimer’s helped bring together the seven family Hilda Pridgeon – formidable feminist force instrumental in organizing the Alzheimer’s Association Bobbi Glaze – partnered with Pridgeon to form the Alzheimer’s Association designed for the middle class—the neither rich or poor—who need help QUOTES FROM KARLAWISH “[The] “physical, psychological, financial, and moral suffering…adds up to a humanitarian problem [and] the solution isn’t simply better medical care.” “Short of a cure, short of a cure for each and every cause of dementia, we will have to learn to live with the disease.” “People are desperate to hold on to something that is very essential at least moral agency which is what allows us to think and decide.” “[Over the last several decades] the risk of developing dementia has been declining…The data suggests it’s about access and opportunity.” “A very mature, sensible way to live is to [recognize] that some degree of cognitive changes is going to be part of our lives.” BUY The Problem of Alzheimer's: How Science, Culture, and Politics Turned a Rare Disease into a Crisis and What We Can Do About It RECOMMENDATION For extensive resources offered to Alzheimer’s disease patients and caregivers, check out the Alzheimers’ Association website.

Claire Day is the chief program officer at the Alzheimers Association of Northern California and Nevada.  She joins Ikaika today to discuss the identification, treatment, and other information regarding cognitive decline, and in particular, Alzheimers Disease.

  Alzheimer's Disease is the topic of the June 2, 2017 Jewish Sacred Aging Podcast, as Rabbi Address welcomes Wendy Campbell, president of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to the program. About the Guest Wendy Campbell is president and CEO of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association since 2000. She was previously vice president of support services at Pennsylvania Hospital. She holds an MPH from Columbia University School of Public Health, an MBA from Columbia University Business School, and an AB in Government and Education from Smith College.

How important is it that a caregiver practice healthy self care?  Consider these statistics. 80% of care provided to hospice patients is provided by unpaid caregivers (typically, family members). 17.9 billion hours of unpaid care is provided annually for Alzheimers patients alone. 34% of those unpaid caregivers are over 65 years old, and 1 in 10 are over 75 years old. Unpaid caregivers provide care on an average of 43-97 hours per week, and not just during the daytime hours, but nighttime as well.  The probability for caregiver burnout is significant. In this episode Helen & Jerry discuss the problem of caregiver burnout, and offer ways for caregivers to provide self care, so that they can keep providing the best care possible for the patient. In this episode we feature the co-authors and website creators of 365CaregivingTips.com. Five authors, Pegi Foulkrod, Gincy Heins, Trish Hughes Kreis, Richard Kreis and Kathy Lowrey are all experienced caregivers. Pegi and Kathy both cared for their husbands before they died, Gincy cares for her husband who was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Richard and Trish care for Trish's disabled brother as well as Richard's mom. 365 Caregiving Tips: Practical Tips from Everyday Caregivers was the beginning of a series of books created with the intent of helping others through their caregiving journey. Their second book, 365 Caregiving Tips: Travel and Respite, Practical Tips from Everyday Caregivers, is designed to help those traveling with their loved one or taking a respite without their loved one. The tips found in both books are practical.  Caregivers have to make the most of their limited time, money and energy and these tips are designed with those limited resources in mind.People can read one tip a day, read a chapter that applies to their situation at that moment, or enjoy them all at once.  The hope of the co-authors is that by sharing these tips people will have an easier caregiving day, and their load will be a little lighter.  They also want people to know there are others on this caregiving journey, some who are just beginning and some who are more experienced, but they are here with you and are here to help.Check out these other great websites for caregiver resources.Alzheimers Association - alz.org AARP - aarp.org/home-family/caregiving/ National Alliance for Caregiving - caregiving.org National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization - caringinfo.org 365 Caregiving Tips - 365caregivingtips.com
