Caregiver Matters of CNY

All too often, families find themselves flying blind when Mom or Dad starts to decline, whether that decline is gradual or sudden. We find ourselves bombarded by medical information we may not fully understand, and overwhelmed by decisions that need to be made for someone who may not want our help or realize how much they need it.  We have plenty of things to worry about, and very little information about how to deal with them. On my YouTube Channel, Caregiver Matters, I offer practical information for families facing these challenges.

I spent 12 years as a caregiver for my aging parents, which inspired me to pursue a masters degree in social work, and then a PhD, both focused on the study of aging. My caregiving experiences informed my education, and my education informed my caregiving.
