The early signs of dementia are easy to dismiss: mail piling up, repeated purchases, getting lost on familiar routes. Dementia is not just memory loss, and families who spot the changes early can prepare before caregiving becomes a crisis.
Nicole Smith knows this firsthand. A mother of five, she became a “dementia daughter” and long-distance caregiver when her mother, father, and stepmother all began experiencing cognitive decline just as the pandemic hit. She wrote Diagnosis Dementia: Your Guide for Eldercare Planning and Crisis Management to be the guide she desperately needed.
Host Rosanne Corcoran and Nicole discuss how to document early signs of dementia, what to ask doctors, power of attorney, POLST and MOLST forms, and finding caregiver support, plus the grief and resistance that come with dementia care.
If you’re caring for a loved one with dementia, you’re not alone.
