While it's on caregiving in general and not limited to dementia, this episode of Fresh Air is a good resource for those early in the caregiving journey and want to understand how to handle the financial challenges. It's also available on many podcasting platforms. The guest, Paula Span, writes for the New York Times' "The New Old Age" column.
