Description
The Caregiver Chats podcast is a space for family caregivers and care partners to find support and expertise to help make the caregiving journey a little more manageable. Dr. Lakelyn and her guests will focus on five key areas of caregiving that tend to be most challenging: Caregiver Support; Aging in Place; Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiving; Care Planning; and Caregiver Self-Care. Guests will include aging industry experts and advocates and caregivers who will share their experiences and personal stories with Dr. Lakelyn. New episodes will drop regularly on all major podcasting platforms.
