In this caregiver spotlight episode, meet Dr. Nicole Rochester who cared for her dad who had several chronic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease and vascular dementia. She witnessed the complicated healthcare system from the other side of the stethoscope. Her dual perspective as a doctor and family caregiver inspired her to want to help aging individuals and caregivers navigate the fragmented healthcare system. In this episode we talk about asking for help, coping with holidays, understanding caregiver rights in the hospital discharge process, and pushing for more family-centered medical communication.
