Our Host, Lori La Bey will talk with Dave Wiederrich the cofounder of Dementia Map global resource directory with Lori. He is also the founder of the Memory Cafe Directory, which is the premier global directory of Memory Cafes. Dave saw a gap in the industry where so many people were talking about Memory Cafes and the good they were doing, yet he found it wasn’t easy to people to find where they were located. The Memory Cafe Directory now has over 1,000 listings in five countries.
Dave is now launching another directory. One to help people find support groups which we will talk about today.

Here at Alzheimer’s Speaks we take our commitment to “Dementia Friendly Travel” very seriously. We are finding the need to clarify our relationship going forward with Kathy Shoaf, Elite Cruises and Vacations, LLC, and Cruise Planners/American Express who we used as our travel agent on our first cruise to the Caribbean last month. The need for clarification is due to two major factors.
1) There is much confusion and misconceptions in dementia communities around the world, about Alzheimer’s Speaks involvement with future Dementia Friendly Cruises being marketed by Kathy Shoaf, Elite Cruises and Vacations, LLC, and Cruise Planners/American Express. To clarify, Alzheimer’s Speaks has never been involved, nor will we be involved in their future events.
2) Due to an overwhelming response for Alzheimer’s Speaks to provide additional Dementia Friendly Travel, we have decided to do so under the titles of “Dementia Friendly Travel with Lori La Bey”and/or “Dementia Friendly Travel with Alzheimer’s Speaks,” so there will be no confusion going forward. This decision was not made lightly as it was after serious review of feedback from our dementia friendly program team and many attendees. We are honored and vow to hold to a high standard of providing Dementia Friendly Travel in the future.
Although the symposium and programs were highly rated, and many told us they can’t wait to do it again, we can’t apologize enough to those of you who had difficulties in any fashion regarding the cruise. Please know we have meticulous notes to improve the travel process, communication chains and our programming; to make our next venture even more fun and resourceful than the last.
Thank you again, for your understanding and your continued support of Alzheimer’s Speaks.
We are truly humbled and honored in your faith is us and promise to always continue to raise the bar when it comes to dementia.
We Still Owe You a Beautiful Article on Our Dementia Friendly Cruise.
We’ve all wrestled with a guilt trip – aging parents or a sick spouse who fear that we will not respect their wishes to stay at home. Statistics reaffirm that seventy-five percent of families try to do just that, despite the physical and emotional challenges of 24/7 dementia care. Often families turn to outside professional home care support.
24/7 care is often central to the Alzheimer’s experience. Every one of us facing this challenge – patients and care partners alike – strives to honor and help our loved ones live well with dementia. Home care providers and policy makers want to know what matters most to the A-LIST.
We all know having a wealth of appropriate resources available to us when looking for caregiving answers is critically important. The more options you have available to you, the better you can make caregiving decisions for your loved one.
Here at KalendarKards, we often say we provide “comfort and confidence” through the use of our System. Who better with whom to work on this resource-sharing effort than someone who strives to move us from “crisis to comfort?”
We are honored by your response to our offering of the Dementia Friendly Symposium and Cruise and we are encouraging people to book their cabins before we are sold out!
Kathy Shoaf the travel agent handling the symposium and cruise can be reached at: 219-608-2002 or email her at Kathy.Shoaf@CruisePlanners.com
