She is the author of Where Do We Go From Here? The Complete Dementia Care Guide for Family Caregivers, created to help families feel informed, empowered, and less alone.   Learn: What does the healthcare system get wrong about supporting families? What are we missing when we give caregivers that advice without acknowledging what they are experiencing? What Kimberly has learned about behaviors such as aggression, resistance, wandering, agitation, or repeatedly saying, “I want to go home,” after so many years in the business? When is it no longer safe or sustainable to provide care for a loved one at home?

Brenna is passionate about empowering older adults to stay safe, remain in control of their choices, and plan proactively to protect both independence and legacy.   Learn about Lance A. Slatton’s new book Caregiving in America.  Below is the foreword to the book. There is a lot in the news in America about healthcare, from policies, funding, research, and fraud. Our technology companies have positioned AI as the end-all, be-all answer to the public, but the truth is, the biggest asset we have when it comes to our health is people. There is no possible way to take human beings out of the equation without hurting outcomes. Lance A. Slatton, known as The Senior Care Influencer, understands the power and promise of education, engagement, prevention, and support when it comes to healthcare. He knows that caregivers are the glue that holds our health together.  If you are caring for yourself or another person, the first words that usually echo in one's brain are: “Tag You’re it!”, “What does a caregiver do?”, “How can I do this?”, or “I don’t have time to deal with this!” He understands what it is like to need a caregiver, or when you are called to be a caregiver, and he appreciates the fear of those who have no one to lean on to give them the care they need. The truth is that human beings are the true navigators of our systems. They are the ones who have to maneuver our complicated healthcare industry. From whom to call when, to where to go, how to get there, and the two questions that weigh heaviest for most families are: where do I find the time, and how do we pay for it? Lance’s book, Caregiving in America, has positioned the needs of caregivers first. He recognized that if the most valued asset to health in America is not educated, guided, and supported, then none of us should really be surprised that our system is failing. Lance set out to change that, and if you know Lance, you know he is thorough. So thorough that Lance knew all the information caregivers actually need could be overwhelming. He understands stress, which can fog the brain and paralyze people from making a plan. Looking at the size of the book alone, a caregiver might think, “I’ll never get through all of that.  I don’t have the time to read that much. I need answers now!” The good news is that caregivers don’t have to read the book cover to cover to get their questions answered. Lance wrote the book to be used as a reference book. You can drop right into a chapter that covers the topic you need, plus he has listed national and state-by-state resources. Lance talks openly and honestly, helping caregivers create a proactive approach to reduce stress, maneuver the healthcare system, learn about legalities and fiscal responsibility, how to support the one you are caring for, as well as yourself physically, emotionally, and psychologically, and, bottom line, not feel so overwhelmed and alone on the caregiving journey. Wouldn’t it be great if someday soon, insurance companies would cover each caregiver to receive this resource book free of charge! In the meantime, know Caregiving in America makes for a great gift to any caregiver, no matter where they are on their journey, or how many times they have been called to be one. Each journey is unique with its own twists and turns, and Lance never wants you to feel alone on the caregiving journey.

Expanding Intergenerational Dementia Care By Spreading Joy Through Petals
2026/09/15
Sharing Joy Through Petals  #Recycling  #Beauty  #Joy  #Empathy Lori La Bey talks with LindaThompson, founder of Theo's Flowers, who grew up on the North Shore of Massachusetts, one of five siblings, in a family where caring for one another was simply a way of life. That early foundation of service would go on to shape both her career and her calling. For nearly 40 years, she worked as a Human Resources leader in the healthcare field, dedicating her professional life to supporting people, organizations, and communities. Throughout those decades, her passion for helping others only deepened. Theo's Flowers was born out of a deeply personal experience: watching both of her parents live with Alzheimer's disease. That journey gave her a firsthand understanding of the isolation and loss of connection that so often accompanies dementia and memory disorders — and also revealed how something as simple as a flower and a visit could bring a moment of joy, calm, or recognition to someone who needed it. Determined to turn that experience into something meaningful, she founded Theo's Flowers as a way to repurpose beautiful floral arrangements and hand-deliver them to elders living with memory disorders, along with something equally important — the gift of a visit. True to the spirit that inspired it, Theo's Flowers remains entirely volunteer-run and is powered by family: the founder's three sisters ( Nancy, Tracey, and Kristen), her two adult daughters, and Nancy's adult daughter all work side by side to keep the mission blooming. Together, they've built an organization rooted in kindness, environmental responsibility, and a shared belief that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and remembered. Theo's Flowers solves two problems at once — floral waste from weddings and events, and the isolation so many elders with dementia experience. About 90% of the flowers used are rescued rather than purchased, sourced from 50+ weddings and events. The visit matters as much as the flowers The bouquet is really a vehicle for something bigger — a hand-delivered visit. For someone with memory loss, a caring visit paired with something calming and beautiful can spark connection when words might not. Explosive, volunteer-powered growth Launched in September 2021 and entirely volunteer-run, Theo's Flowers has grown in under five years to a team of more than 50 volunteers who've hand-delivered over 700 bouquets — a compelling started-small, look-how-far-it's-come arc. Generations in Bloom — the intergenerational piece Separate from the core volunteer program, student volunteers have delivered 500+ additional bouquets — a natural spot to talk about bridging young people and elders, and inspiring listeners to get students or schools involved. How the community can get involved Florists, event planners, families, and care communities all play a role in the flower-rescue pipeline — a strong closing point that invites listeners to donate flowers, volunteer, refer a family member, or partner as a care community.   Alzheimer’s Speaks Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/expanding-intergenerational-dementia-care-by-spreading-joy-through-petals/ Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/YVm4naRHuQk Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Apple  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/expanding-intergenerational-dementia-care-by-spreading/id986940432?i=1000789717950 Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MJ46F4KPlp1R3gyCr2Sbf Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432 Dementia Map https://dementiamap.com/events/#!event/2026/9/15/sharing-joy-through-petals   Contact Theo’s Flowers Website   https://www.theosflowers.com Instagram   @theosflowersma   LinkedIn  www.LinkedIn.com/in/theosflowers Link to the story that WBZ did with us in November  https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/medfield-non-profit-recycles-flowers-memory-care/   Contact Lori La Bey of Alzheimer’s Speaks with questions or branding needs at https://www.alzheimersspeaks.com/ Alzheimer's Speaks shifts dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world, one episode at a time, by raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites, since 2011.

Michael Ellenbogen was diagnosed with Young-Onset Alzheimer's Disease at the age of 49. As a world-renowned International Dementia Advocate & Connector, he has been featured in nationally syndicated TV, radio, and other media outlets. He has written for blogs, newspapers, journals, and websites and shared his personal perspective as a guest speaker. Michael served on the PA Alzheimer's Disease Planning Committee and other advisory councils. He testified before the government and has three letters published in the U.S. Congressional Record. He was a regular speaker at NAPA and was featured in the ADI’s 2012 World Alzheimer's Report. He represented the U.S./World for people living with dementia at the World Health Organization in Geneva. He is interested in motivating those with Alzheimer’s to raise their voices and reduce the stigma surrounding the disease. Michael wrote about his journey with the disease in his book entitled “From the Corner Office to Alzheimer's.” Learn: What a lot of people living with dementia and their families fear the most. The issues and patterns that commonly occur when people living with dementia are hospitalized. Find out some of the biggest misconceptions hospital staff have when caring for a person with dementia.

My 20-Year Safari with Dad’s Alzheimer’s
2026/08/18
My 20-Year Safari with Dad’s Alzheimer’s    Lori La Bey talks with Steve Kosareff, a Los Angeles-based author and a passionate advocate for Alzheimer’s awareness and caregiver support. For twenty years, Steve and his family navigated the complex, emotional, and exhausting terrain of caring for his father, John, who lived with a rare, long-term form of Alzheimer’s disease. This deep personal experience inspired his newly released memoir, Something Like That: My 20-Year Safari with Dad’s Alzheimer’s, available on Amazon at https://a.co/d/0gDMLXJD. Drawing from two decades of firsthand observation, Steve writes with a unique blend of raw honesty, practical insight, and healing humor. His mission is to break the isolation felt by millions of unpaid family caregivers and provide a voice for those facing the prolonged realities of dementia. As a local speaker and media guest, Steve offers families actionable advice on pacing themselves for the caregiving marathon, protecting their own mental health, and finding unexpected moments of joy amid crisis. Book Summary Big-rig truck driver John Kosareff began misplacing his keys in 1997. He soon graduated to making dangerous turns with the family car into oncoming traffic and getting lost in a mental fog, driving miles from home. Before long, he no longer recognized Susan, the wife he loved for fifty years, who was abruptly woken one morning by John choking her. Despite the threat to her life, Susan continued to care for John at their home. She also refused to acknowledge her husband’s Alzheimer’s and failed to address her own well-being. Instead, twelve years after John’s disease began and due to the stress of being her husband’s caregiver, Susan’s life came to an abrupt end when she suffered a massive heart attack. The responsibility of taking care of John, Susan’s death and funeral, and all the attendant financial affairs that followed would now be up to their children. Were they up to the challenge? Author Steve Kosareff (Satin Pumps: The Moonlit Murder That Mesmerized The Nation) recalls the tragic, and even at times, humorous, story of his father’s twenty years with the rare long-term disease as he navigates the Alzheimer’s care maze. Kosareff moves back and forth in time over six decades as his family lived in their home, as he revisits the chain of events his father’s Alzheimer’s set in motion and how he and his sisters responded. Something Like That is both a cautionary tale from an Alzheimer’s caregiver and a personal account of the emotional, financial, and physical toll the disease took on the author’s family. Learn: How many families are navigating a Long-Term Diagnosis. The realities of dementia care. The cost of caregiving. Learn about some of the unforeseen events that drain caregivers. Finding joy in crisis. Why getting legal paperwork in order is critical.   Alzheimer’s Speaks Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/my-20-year-safari-with-dads-alzheimers/ Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/aJSfn36GSrw?si=RtYTnsVkCi2GpwWA Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Apple  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-20-year-safari-with-dads-alzheimers/id986940432?i=1000783968303 Listen and Subscribe to the Alzheimer’s Speaks Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/7eKSIHjYexVAscVAs4UQZG Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432 Dementia Map https://dementiamap.com/events/#!event/2026/8/11/my-20-year-safari-with-dad-8217-s-alzheimer-8217-s    Contact Steve Kosareff Purchase The Book  SOMETHING LIKE THAT on Amazon https://a.co/d/0gDMLXJD   On Amazon, listeners can also find a story summary there; read the first nine chapters for free; purchase and post reviews (which I encourage as long as they are constructive and help other Alzheimer’s families find the book).
