Balancing Life, Work and Caring for Dementia

Qiana is the perfect guest for this show today. Not only does she have the professional knowledge but Qiana has been in caregiving roles with her own family. First with her beloved grandmother, affectionately called Mama Doll, and more recently with her father who has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Today Qiana joins Kim to discuss how to balance your life, work, and caring for someone with Dementia. Kim will be asking Qiana the following questions: 1. Qiana, you are both a professional, and you are also very involved in the care of your elderly father who has dementia. Can you tell us more about that? 2. How do you avoid caregiver burnout and what do you advise your clients to do? 3. How do you know when it is time to seek professional help? 4. What advice do you want to give caregivers today? Qiana is a healthcare executive with an acumen for networking and has built a solid circle of business contacts from multiple industries. She obtained her BBA in Entrepreneurship & Management from the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston. She is a graduate of the prestigious Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship, the No. 2 Entrepreneurial Programs in the US.
