In 2020 I took some time to reset and focus on educational opportunities while going through a few big life transitions. In 2021 when my mom had a major fall and was diagnosed with Mixed Type Dementia (Alzheimer’s and Vascular), I began a new 24/7 care phase with me as her full-time caregiver. I reached my goal of keeping my mom at home until the end of her life and I’m now finding ways to use my experience to help others going through the increasingly common challenge of a family-member providing eldercare without adequate support/options.
