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.

Our Host, Lori La Bey will be talking with Mike and Kim Barnes who over the last five years have found themselves navigating problems they never saw coming from their parents: Alzheimer’s, pacemakers, COVID, pneumonia, and the tough decision to move parents into retirement communities.
They’ve learned to balance the many facets of parenting aging parents, including medical, financial, and everyday-life decisions that can be an emotional rollercoaster ride as they work to protect their parents from scams, and more, all while parenting their college-age kids, and building their own careers.
Mike & Kim each spent 30 years on TV. Kim’s TV career includes 15 years as an award-winning reporter and news anchor and Mike’s includes 29 years as an award-winning sportscaster.
Together they’ve realized that so many adult children go through the same trials with their parents, yet hardly anyone talks about it. Most families struggle in silence. That’s why they created a community to provide information, resources, and support.
