GUT PUNCHED: ALZHEIMER’S & CAREGIVERS

Gut Punched: EP 41 What to Look for in a Memory Care Facility for Your Loved One

In this episode of GutPunched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers, host Jeff Edwards is diving into the tough, but crucial, subject of finding the right Memory Care facility for your loved one. It’s no easy task, but Jeff’s got you covered with practical tips and expert advice.

We’ll kick things off with some exciting news about the FDA’s approval of a monthly maintenance dose for Leqembi—could this be a game-changer for Alzheimer’s treatment? Jeff is also taking notes on the fascinating article, “How to Nap to Boost Cognition,” because who doesn’t love a good nap, especially when it helps your brain?

Then, we’re bringing in a dedicated caregiver who’s been there, done that, and is ready to share what to look for when searching for a Memory Care facility. Trust us, it’s more than just pretty pictures and a brochure.

And as always, Jeff’s “GutPunched Alzheimer’s and Caregivers Rules” are here to guide you through the chaos:

  1. Take care of yourself—if you go down, who’s left to help?

  2. You can’t do it alone. Build your network of support—friends, family, caregivers.

  3. Create and USE your list of people who’ve offered help and tasks you can’t do yourself. Trust us, you’ll be amazed at how much easier things can get.

So grab a cup of coffee (or a nap), and let’s dive in.
