Highly accomplished.
I was given so much bad information (lies even) when caring for my dad over 5 years ago

Can you do a follow-up video on the financial aspects of senior care?
It would be helpful to have a resource list for viewers.
Can you do a topic on facing ageism issues in healthcare and even society?
Can you do a topic on Alzheimer's from the beginning all the way to the end and what to expect?
I get really upset when I am online and see all of the lies and stigmas perpetuated on dementia
For GOD nothing is Impossible

What resources are available for families caring for seniors with dementia?
How can we better support caregivers to prevent burnout?

This video would be even better with subtitles.
These topics always suck me in like a bag of chips that I can't put down
How can we ensure that seniors have access to quality healthcare?
No task is too difficult for God.
I had a neighbor who got so upset when she tried to convince me that you can cure alzheimer's

There is so much bad information out there circulating and its so hard to know what real or not.
