Sharing Knowledge Between Caregivers (Francey Jesson)

  1. Sharing Knowledge Between Caregivers (Francey Jesson) Alzheimer's Caregivers 1:15:40

Starting this podcast was all about sharing my knowledge with other caregivers. That was the plan with Francey, to have a conversation where we shared resources. As many of my recorded conversations go, we ended up talking about our shared journey.

That’s okay because I feel that hearing other caregiver stories, them sharing their knowledge is helpful to all of us. Knowing we’re not alone, that we have similar struggles can be truly beneficial. I like to think of episodes like this one as a way to get support without having to leave your home. We all know what a struggle that can be.

Francey bounced all over the country for 25 years chasing her career in airport operations and management, She moved to Sarasota, Florida in 2015 to take care of her mother. Not long after this big change, she started her blog as a way of sharing her knowledge with others.

Becoming a full-time caregiver came with a steep learning curve. Having never been married or raising any kids, Francey never had to care for anyone but herself!  Her blog is about her challenges and also the joys and rewards. It’s a way for her to keep her Mom forever alive in cyberspace. It’s a place to vent, and, hopefully, to lend support, experience, and knowledge to others who are or will soon be a memory loss caregiver.

Jennifer is also available for speaking engagements.

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.
