Caring for Mom- When Siblings Disagree

from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood

So, I have two brothers and two sisters. Which, you know, when you consider the caregiving circle, so to say, it's great to have that. But when it comes down to really making decisions it can be a hindrance. People have different ideas of what exactly Alzheimer's and dementia are and how you take care of someone. ~ Prisca Mendez Asaro   Here is what Kim and Prisca will be discussing today. 1.    Is having a large family a help or a hindrance when caring for someone with dementia? 2.    What do you do with the sibling who simply checks out? 3.    What about the sibling who is just angry? 4.    How does misinformation create more sibling disputes? 5.    How can the primary caregiver help find a role for everyone? 6.    How did the Alzheimer’s Association help your family?   Connect with Prisca office: 913.948.8655 | cell: 239.938.5225 | alz.org/kansascity  Social Media Links https://facebook.com/alzkansascity https://instagram.com/alz_heart_of_america https://twitter.com/alzkc   Bio: Prisca Mendez Asaro is the Director of Programs with the Heart of America Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, which serves 65 counties in Missouri and Kansas.  Her experience in reaching out to her community to expand successful projects is fueled by her personal experience and passion for giving back to those who helped her with her family’s Alzheimer’s journey.  Prisca’s experience and skills in community collaboration, program management, volunteer development, campaign management, and community outreach will positively impact the awareness and growth of our local community programs for the Alzheimer’s HOA chapter.    _________________________________________________________ Contact Kim Hegwood- Elder Law Attorney Website: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourlegacylegalcare/ Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/YourLegacyLegalCare LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourlegacylegalcare/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@yourlegacylegalcare   Your Legacy Legal Care 1150 Clear Lake City Blvd., Suite 100 Houston, TX 77062 (281) 218-0880
