Listen to Radio Interview on ‘Coping with Caregiving’ Radio Show

May 20, 2011 - PRLog -- I want to let you know of a great caregiving resource (http://www.DementiaCareSecrets.com) where I will be interviewed on Saturday, May 21st at http://www.wsRadio.com/CopingWithCaregiving. I will be discussing the first North American free membership website for family caregivers of those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease: www.DementiaCareSecrets.com. This comprehensive website features informative articles, videos, podcasts, interviews, guided imagery and stress recordings, prayers, quotes, a caregiver forum, ask the experts section, games, and even a chat feature to help you stay in touch with family and friends.

As a Gerontologist working with Alzheimer’s for over 15 years, I have seen the need for this type of resource considering that nearly 15 million unpaid family and friends (37% more than 2010) provide 17 BILLION hours of unpaid care to those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, an estimated value of $202.6 BILLION.

The ‘Coping with Caregiving’ radio program features interviews with 4 healthcare professionals and can be heard live worldwide free from 3-4:00 pm Pacific Time, with my interview at 3:30 pm PT (6:30 pm ET), segment 3. To listen in, simply click on the correct ‘On Air Listen Live’ button at the top of the website. If you miss the live broadcast, by Tuesday, May 24th, you can listen-on-demand to the online archive anytime. For assistance with Internet radio, please see http://www.wsRadio.com/how-to-listen.cfm.

The host of the popular 8-year old program, Jacqueline Marcell, took care of her parents who had Alzheimer’s which went undiagnosed for over a year, compelling her to dedicate her life to eldercare awareness and reform. She is an international speaker and author of the best-selling book ‘Elder Rage’, http://www.ElderRage.com. If your area of expertise is relevant to caregiving, health or aging issues and you would like to be considered as a guest for the program, email Jacqueline at J.Marcell@cox.net for details and please tell her I sent you!
