Quality of Life in Memory Care. What Does “Good” Look Like? Part 4 of 4 with Dr. Laird

Listen Live or Listen at Your Convenience Thursday – May 4th, 2023 – 2pm EST, 1pm CST, 12pm MST, 11am PST & 7pm London GMT, 9pm South Africa SAST, and on the May 5th, at 6am in Australia AEDT

Watch the Video Interview Below

Today on Alzheimer’s Speaks Radio, Lori La Bey is joined by Dr Laird, and Deanna Vigliotta with Seni as we wrap up this four-part series on what “quality of life and good care” actually looks like in Memory Care.

Dr. Laird is a Geriatrician and has 25 years of experience as Medical Director for two Memory Disorder Clinics in Florida. Dr. Laird is a passionate advocate for the support of family caregivers and co-authored the book Take Your Oxygen First: Preserving Your Health and Happiness While Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Deanna Vigliotta has an extensive 30-year healthcare sales and sales management background.  She is a master collaborator who focuses on building relationships with healthcare professionals. Deanna joined the Seni sales team to better educate consumers, geriatricians, neurologists, Skilled Nursing Facilities – SNF, Assisted Living Facilities – ALF, Home Health Care, and Memory Care communities about the importance of choosing high-performing adult incontinence products to improve the quality of life for incontinent people as well as those that care for them.   In doing so she moved quickly into the role of National Sales Manager with Seni, supporting her teammates and Seni’s clients, to shift the mindset in the USA from adult incontinence products being viewed as a disposable commodity to high-performing incontinence products being viewed as a critical component to the continuum of care

Learn Why Early Diagnosis Is So Important When It Comes To Dementia?

A BIG THANK YOU to Dr. Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger with Home Instead who invited me on her live video chat to discuss early diagnosis and why it’s so important.

So many people worry about changes in cognition from individuals who are sensing a change in their own lives, to family and friends. This chat will give you some ideas of common changes people question, what could be causing the changes, who to go see if you are concerned, to how to approach the conversation with a loved one, and even how to respond to someone who is telling you they are worried about cognitive changes.

As always with Lakelyn, this is a positive empowering chat loaded with resources and and ideas for you.

Dr. Daniel Gibbs – A Neurologist’s Personal & Professional Battle Against Alzheimer’s

Click on the Graphic Below to Listen to the Show

Today’s show is live, and as always you are invited to call in and ask your questions or make comments at 323-870-4602.

Lori La Bey will be talking with Dr. Daniel Gibbs who is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis, and one of 5.8 million Americans living with the disease.  The difference here is that Dr Gibbs, is a neurologist, who has spent twenty-five years caring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.  He realized that he too might have the disease, even though no official diagnosis or serious signs of cognitive decline had occurred.

How did he come to that conclusion? We will find that out today as Dr. Gibbs tells his story.  We will also hear about his book titled, “A TATTOO ON MY BRAIN: A Neurologist’s Personal Battle Against Alzheimer’s Disease.”  Dr Gibbs’ story will warm your heart and inspire you as he shares how one scientist dealt with dementia.  Dr Gibbs has spent most of his life studying from the “outside” and now he finds himself with a front row seat from “inside” the disease.
