Dementia Decoded ★4.985 ratings

Stop guessing and start leading. Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s shouldn't feel like a constant state of crisis. In Dementia Decoded, host Jennifer Fink transforms her two decades of caregiving experience into a masterclass for the working family caregiver. After eight years as Fading Memories, we have evolved to provide you with more than just stories—we provide a strategy. As a caregiving strategist and advocate for AARP and the Alzheimer’s Association, Jennifer decodes the medical jargon, communication hurdles, and emotional toll of the disease to help you advocate for your loved one without losing yourself in the process. Each week, we dive into: Caregiving Strategies: Practical tools for managing daily care and long-term planning. Brain Health: Understanding the science behind the "why" of dementia. Advocacy & Support: Navigating the healthcare system and finding your village. The "Real Talk": Permission to laugh through the absurdity and heal through honest conversation. Experience matters. Strategy wins. Laughter heals. Whether you are in the first stages of a diagnosis or deep in the trenches, it’s time to turn the light on. Welcome to Dementia Decoded.
