* I want caregivers to be encouraged, educated, and empowered, but how can they be all of these considering everything caregivers have on their plates? ~Leah Stanley This show will be all about supporting caregivers. Kim will have a conversation with author and speaker Leah Stanley about what it will take to keep caregivers empowered. Caregivers: Encouraged, Educated, Empowered 1) How can a family caregiver find encouragement during their difficult journey? 2) From a caregiver’s perspective why is it so important to have a POA? 3) When should you plan for Medicaid? 4) How can you work with someone who has dementia more effectively? 5) When a caregiver is feeling overwhelmed how can you encourage them. 6) How can a caregiver feel empowered?
