Summary
Episode 49 – A Discussion on Dementia with Jennifer Fink
Hello, and welcome back to All Home Care Matters. If this is your first time visiting us here at the show. Thank you for taking time out to be with us today. We appreciate how valuable everyone’s time is and that is why we try and make each episode here at All Home Care Matters something that will hopefully matter to you.
We have a very special guest joining us today and her name is Jennifer Fink. Jennifer is the founder of the Fading Memories Podcast. Fading Memories is a podcast that helps families who have loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Jennifer spent the first half of her adult life as a portrait photographer, a business she still maintains. Listening to podcasts became a favorite way to learn new things while walking the dogs or doing household chores. After the death of her father in March 2017, dealing with and caring for her Mother became a much bigger part of her life. Looking to her favorite media in search of answers and not finding what she was looking for, Jennifer decided she would create a supportive podcast that caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients need and deserve.
Jennifer is the daughter, granddaughter & great granddaughter of women who suffered from Alzheimer’s or other cognitive impairment. Looking for answers on how not to become the fourth generation with this problem while also seeking ways to connect better with her Mom has led her on this interesting journey with her new passion, podcasting.
If you or someone you know is trying to navigate caring for a loved one with memory loss you’re busy even if you’re not responsible for their full time care. There are so many daily questions and challenges and finding the answer isn’t as easy as it should be. Fading Memories is a podcast designed to answer those daily questions in an easy to use format. Their weekly podcast has conversations from folks who have some of the answers and personal stories from family members dealing with a loved one with memory loss.
But the caring and the questions didn’t end there, in fact, more questions piled on and finding answers took more time than she or her sister had. This podcast is the result of the search for answers. If you are interested in learning more about Jennifer and the Fading Memories podcast you can visit fadingmemoriespodcast.com.
