In this fourth and final episode of our special series in partnership with Stanford Healthcare, our guest Susan Evans shares the ins and outs of caregiving, and talks about her work to support other caregivers dealing with the challenges of Alzheimer’s Disease. As a caregiver, Susan worked to ensure her dad was safe and well cared for. She and her brother incorporated humor into their caregiving journey, and now she works to ensure other caregivers have the resources they need.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

  • Susan knows the power of story sharing, and how caregivers can learn from each other.
  • When her dad began experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease, he took himself to his doctor at Stanford Healthcare.
  • Susan recommends taking advantage of the present time caregivers have, to be in the moment instead of trying to remind your person of things they can’t recall.
  • Challenges from Alzheimer’s Disease vary from person to person, and caregiver to caregiver.
  • Despite the hard times, Susan has found fulfillment and meaning in her caregiving roles.
