Today's episode is a bonus episode in recognition of National Family Caregivers Month. We're joined by Tufts Medicine's Dr. Brent Forester and journalist Tom Harrison who share invaluable insights on how families can "care smarter, not harder" to help maintain the best possible quality of life for their loved ones affected by dementia. The two discuss why caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease is challenging, strategies for caregivers, the importance of planning ahead of a crisis, and more. For more information and to register for Dr. Forester and Tom Harrison's upcoming education program "Navigating the Dementia Care Journey" on Nov. 13 click here. Need assistance?
