Podcast Recommendations for Caregivers?

I am new to this forum and have found it to be very encouraging and enlightening.

Curious if anyone has recommendations for podcasts on the topic of Alzheimer's or Dementia?

    Good question! 

    I see from a search that there are many of them.  I’d also like to know if there are recommendations from this wise group. 

    Thanks!

    Hello John, I would suggest going to or contacting the Family Care Alliance site, their phone number is, (800) 445-8106.  While they are physically located in San Francisco, they do much online information and can refer one to so many different support areas such as the one you are looking for. 

    They also have a sign-up for a free online newsletter that comes with SO much information and updates on care, changes in laws and also offers of free webinair classes on various topics.

    So hope you will find what you are seeking, do let us know how you are doing.

    J.

    I recently found Dementia Care Parter Talk Show, with Teepa Snow (a dementia educator). I've only listened to one so far, but it was very informative! I'd love to hear of other podcasts, too!

    Hi John_O!  Yes, I am fan of podcasts and have a few recommendations for you!  I listen through Apple Podcasts and they may be accessible on other platforms.

    1. Experiences in Caregiving: Personal Stories and Support for Caregivers (Alz Assoc San Diego/Imperial Chapter)

    2. Dementia Untangled (Banner Health)

    3. Dementia Care Partner Talk Show (Teepa Snow)

    Good luck and I hope you find some helpful information!
