Filling The Gap For Children Who Have Parents With Young Onset Dementia.

Our host, Lori La Bey will be talking with Diana Shulla Cose the Founding Executive Director, of Lorenzo’s House, and Bree Ruge the Lead of Programs & Development at Lorenzo’s House. Also joining us are three young adults who are involved with Lorenzo’s House – William Dean, Shylah Thiara, and Jessica.

Diana Shulla Cose is the Founding Executive Director, of Lorenzo’s House. Diana has been the primary care partner to her husband and mother. She is a true visionary, entrepreneur, strategist, innovator, and proven fundraiser. After her husband was diagnosed with Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s she recognized a massive care and connection gap for younger families and in 2021 founded Lorenzo’s House, a non-profit social impact startup designed to empower families everywhere living with Younger-Onset dementia.

Diana leveraged her past career of over 25 years as Co-Founder & President of a network of public schools in Chicago, scaling from 40 students and 2 teachers to 2,300 students and over 250 staff across 5 schools – Diana brings deep experience and insight to her new venture in this new space. 

Bree Ruge, Certified Dementia Practitioner, is a certified Dementia Friend by Dementia Friendly America, and the Lead of Programs & Development at Lorenzo’s House. She has the privilege of building programs and relationships with youth and care partners daily. Bree has been personally touched by Alzheimer’s in her family which gave her knowledge and insights to walk alongside families living with Younger-Onset dementia. Bree was a co-creator, developing the Dementia Friendly Initiative in 4 neighborhoods in the Northside of Chicago.

William Dean, who goes by Will, is 23 years old and is from Wales in the United Kingdom. Will’s mother lives with young onset dementia, and this challenge has inspired him to become an advocate for change through fundraising and raising awareness.

Shylah Thiara’s father was diagnosed with Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s in his mid-50s, and since then she became an advocate and blogger. Shylah spreads awareness and tackles the misconceptions associated with Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s disease by sharing her journey of navigating her father’s diagnosis.  

Jessica Christensen is a 13-year-old from Utah.  Diana described Jessica as a bright ray of light for this world who has thoughtful perspectives and inspires many, wise beyond her years, and is a youth leader at Lorenzo’s House. Jessica’s father was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s disease and she has been with Lorenzo’s House for about a year and a half and is a youth leader at Lorenzo’s House.

Making Connections

Cultivating Health

Supporting Care Partners

Treating By Design

Watch the Video Interview Below

80th Street Residence and Seni

Our Host, Lori La Bey is joined by Lindsey Harbison, with the 80th Street Residence, and Deanna Vigliotta and Laurie Gredlein with Seni as they discuss what “quality of life and good care” actually looks like in a Memory Care setting. All three of these ladies have phenomenal experience in healthcare, so we know this episode will be loaded with nuggets!

Lindsey Harbison, Assistant Executive Director of the 80th Street Residence, is often the first person that many families meet upon their introduction to the 80th Street Residence. With 16 years at the community, she has helped hundreds of families navigate the difficult process of making the move from one’s home to The 80th Street Residence.  

Laurie Gredlein has been working in the healthcare/senior living field for over 20yrs – from marketing for a large pharmaceutical company to working in various long-term care settings.  She is currently an Account Executive for Seni in the Northeast region and resides in New Jersey.  She is passionate about educating people on the importance of using high-quality incontinence products, as well as helping those in need. 

Deanna Vigliottahas an extensive 30-year healthcare sales and sales management background.  She spent many years of her career working in the Radiology Imaging space, where she built relationships with healthcare professionals, and provided related healthcare products & ancillary services.

Today I will be talking with Victoria Simmonds is British born, and raised in France, she has already performed her songs across Europe. She is influenced by a variety of styles including Brit Pop, Folk, Country, and Musical Theatre, Victoria has been compared to the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Carole King and Alanis Morrissette.

Her new single “Last Dance in the Rain” launched February10th, 2023, which was an independently produced album and is available on all major streaming platforms. The Indie Pop single “Last Dance in the Rain” has thought provoking lyrics, about the loss of someone due to symptoms that effect memory. This is a very heartfelt song, evoking intense emotions for people affected by dementia, as well as the friends and family around them, who see the changes in personality due to the illness. It tells the story of the loss of the mind before the body and the hope that although they are not with us in mind the hope that they are happy, dancing in the rain. 

Lyrics

Last Dance in the Rain

Keep me awake

Pray my soul the lord to take

I can almost feel the breeze

Blowing gently through the leaves

Those stubborn trees they never bend

The broken boughs they never mend

She don’t remember any more

Just a part of growing old

Don’t remember or recall

A saddened face did long since fall

Sometimes they come but she’s not there

In merely playgrounds deep within a stare

Does she remember if we laughed or cried

I feel all that has left her mind

Maybe she’s dancing in the rain

She don’t remember any more

Just a part of growing old

Don’t remember or recall

A saddened face did long since fall

Don’t remember any more

Just a part of growing old

Don’t remember or recall

A saddened face did long since fall

Send me to sleep

Pray my soul to take

It never rains outside she said

Now she’s ‘neath the flowerbeds

Silently they close the door

Watch the rain come down

It pours

Lyrics and Music by Victoria Simmonds and Paddy O’Grady – Last dance in the rain – 2023
