Why We Must Care for the Caregivers - Bill Cohen : 48

William "Bill" Cohen shares how he turned his pain and personal loss due to his mother’s Alzheimer’s into passion and an “encore career”.   We talk about managing care and practicing self-care and prevention. We talk about dementia, Alzheimer’s, their symptoms and treatments.  And also things not to do for a person living with dementia.Bill is a caregiving support consultant, a very interesting job. We tend to always talk about the patient, but neglect talking about the roles of caregivers.  Just like patients, caregivers could feel alone and exhausted.  Bill guides caregivers along on their journeys.  He assists them in reducing the overwhelming stress that can come along with the job.His creative and loving mother, Sheila, lost her home in Hurricane Katrina.  Then, her health, artistic skills, and life were ravaged by Alzheimer's.  Bill was her primary care partner for 10 years.  Let’s enjoy his story!Visit: https://cohencaregivingsupport.com/Join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/billcohensupportgroup/?ref=share@cohencaregivingsupporthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/williamscohen/Send BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate:Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!
