Voices of Dementia: Peter Zubert
Manage episode 498879915 series 3596011
Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Peter Zubert, a sales executive, husband, dad and son who's today walking alongside his mother during her dementia journey.
But this "Voices of Dementia" conversation also touches on Peter's own journey to reduce his risk of later developing dementia by addressing his hearing loss.
Together, Karla and Peter cover some of those lingering reservations listeners may have related to taking their own significant step toward a better life... today and tomorrow.
Karla and Peter also discuss the challenges related to dementia and driving. The National Institute on Aging offers an excellent overview on when to consider having the driving conversation with someone living with dementia and how to broach this sensitive topic. You'll note that resource also references other critical contacts, including your state's DMV and the primary care provider of the person living with dementia. The Alzheimer's Association also gives a phenomenal guide to having the driving conversation, along with signs it's time for that conversation and transportation alternatives.
As always, please reach out to Karla with questions or topics you'd like us to consider: [email protected]. And yes, please also provide a review, like and subscribe to "Hello Alzheimer's." We remain SO grateful for your support.
