Joining me on the show this week is Debbie DeMoss Compton. Debbie is a Certified Caregiving Consultant & Advocate/Speaker/Author/Caregiver.

She was traveling coast to coast in upper-middle management. Life was good – until it wasn’t. It’s not fun to be on the coast and get a call that your mom has passed out in OKC and is on the way to the hospital. Also, not fun is being on the opposite coast and finding out your Dad has taken your mom’s pills by mistake and is nearly comatose.

Add to that a mother-in-law experiencing more and more memory issues, and my friends, you are set up for an ulcer.

Life intervened, and she became a full-time Caregiver. She never wanted to be a Caregiver, but no one asked her opinion. Who can relate to that story?

This episode is a replay of our LinkedIn Live broadcast from June 2022. Debbie has so much practical information I decided to put the recording out as a regular podcast episode!

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks.

Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
