Ep 166: Pt 1 The Caregiver's Game- Unraveling Financial Deceit in the Shadows of Dementia: By Charles E. Wallace; "She is fine!"

from Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast · host Jill, Host of the Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast

Part 1: As Baby Boomers and Gen Xers age, many of us face the heart-wrenching reality of caring for a loved one with dementia. This insidious disease undermines cognition, often robbing individuals of their very identity. Chip, and his siblings encountered this heartache when their mother, Joell Fleming, began showing symptoms. Complicating matters, her children lived across the United States while she remained in her cherished home in Dallas, Texas. As they navigated this difficult situation, the need for a trustworthy caregiver became evident—someone who could assist with daily routines, cooking, shopping, manage medications, and ensure their mother's safety. But what is one to do when a caregiver lacks genuine concern for their client, manipulating her for her own nefarious purposes? What are the red flags? This is a critical warning for anyone caring for aging loved ones: Charles E. Wallace passionately hopes that no one else has to endure the distressing experiences he and his siblings faced in their mother's final years.
