The Caregiver’s Journal hosted by Lance A. Slatton with Cindy (PT) & Christina (ST) Hardin-Weiss.

The Caregiver’s Journal is the show where we are sharing the Caregiving experiences, stories, and Wisdom of family caregivers.

Chapter 6 – “Finding Care”:

In this journal entry, we welcomed Michelle Stevens who shared her caregiving journey and how she is “Finding Care”.

About Michelle Stevens:

Michelle Stevens spent 20 years as a caregiver, with the last 13 focused on dementia care, helping elderly patients with Alzheimer’s and Lewy Body Dementia. The past three years were especially intense for her as she cared for her mom full-time during her fight with LBD, staying with her until the very end.

Since 2016, she has also gained expertise in ostomy care after her mom had her bladder removed due to Cancer, which added an extra layer of complexity to her dementia care. Michelle’s goal is to share her experiences to guide and support others on this difficult journey. She wants to be an advocate for both patients and caregivers, bringing some ease and calm to the process. Through her work, she hopes to turn her own painful experiences into something positive, helping others navigate their way with empathy and understanding.
