Dementia - and Care for the Caregiver

Your Family's Health

Dr. Jeanine Cook-Garard learns about how to care for someone suffering from dementia, and also how to care for the caregiver - something that is sometimes overlooked! She speaks with Dr. Macie P. Smith, who is nationally known for her work on dementia-competent practices and family caregiving matters. Her work has been published in national and international professional journals. She is a Licensed Gerontology Social Worker and an Alzheimer's and dementia educator with experience coordinating care for aging and vulnerable populations. Dr. Smith is also the author of “A Dementia Caregiver Called to Action.”
