Caregiver Friendly Products and Services for Dementia

This Rethinking Aging Club Podcast Caregiver Friendly Products episode focused on Alzheimer’s and brain health, highlighting the importance of awareness and education. Key points included the need for more dementia training for caregivers, with only 7,000 of the required 30,000 geriatricians currently available. Statistics showed one in nine people over 65 has Alzheimer’s, and 66% of those diagnosed are women. The discussion emphasized the role of personal stories and media in raising awareness, the importance of person-centered care, and the potential of technology in early detection and support.
