New Year, New Hope: Reorganizing Your Life, Despite Dementia

from Hello Alzheimer’s · host So Many Goodbyes

Happy New Year! Please enjoy this special -- honestly, perfect for the new year -- encore conversation. Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Joan Palmquist about the practical and personal benefits of decluttering and downsizing during the dementia journey. Joan's a retired marketing researcher who studied both journalism and law. And while that's impressive, Joan's current LinkedIn profile describes her most brilliant and rewarding work yet: "Volunteer Extraordinaire at Various Nonprofit organizations." Most importantly, Joan brings her own wealth of wisdom and empathy after caring for her beloved mom during her Alzheimer's journey. Two quick notes: 1., Yes, decluttering and downsizing during dementia. We promise this advice benefits everyone but, perhaps especially, those affected by Alzheimer's or other dementia. And 2., Though it's spelled "Joan," it's pronounced Joanne. Please enjoy the conversation. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions: [email protected]. And please know... You're not alone.
