  • The essential elements of an emergency care plan
  • How to prepare a carer backup plan in case you’re unavailable
  • Which professionals, services, and family members should be contacted — and who should not

About the Podcast

Lets Talk About Dementia
My Dementia Roadtrip
A show where I talk candidly about Dementia and Alzheimers. I've been caring for my parents who "both" have Alzheimer's / Dementia. All whilst living 165 miles away from them too!
I share what I've seen and experienced, from my own personal perspective. This is a journey that none of us carers ask to be on, however we find ourselves on this journey and each and with every ounce of our hearts, each day, each and every one of us are doing our absolute best.
For every carer and person with Alzheimer's or Dementia, my heart is with you.
