Show Notes
This week my guest is Bill Cohen, a Certified Senior Advisor, and the owner of Cohen Caregiving Support Consultants. With every two out of three caregivers being female, the conversation around caregiving tends to be from the perspective of women. Bill shares with us his journey as a son, offers advice on managing care, finding support, and how seeking support can be different for men.
Bill is compassionate as he provides support for dementia caregivers. He's walked this road before and takes a holistic approach in sharing his perspective and support as he advises unpaid family caregivers. Thank you, Bill, for sharing your perspective, advice, and story with us today.
Bill shares about:
- Bill's story as a son
- What led to his concerns about his mom's symptoms
- Good tips for supporting our loved ones with dementia
- Overcoming the stigmas around dementia and improving awareness
- How caregivers can find time for self-care and reduce stress
- How we work through grief and the long goodbyes
- Why it's important for us to find support during our caregiving journey
- His perspective as a male caregiver and how seeking support can be different
- Bill shares about his volunteer work including support groups, fundraising, and advocacy
