Dementia Isn’t Something You Fix — It’s Something You Face
Lori La Bey talks with Glenna Hecht, a speaker, consultant, and the author of How Old Are You Today? Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and The Game That Transformed Their Lives. As a daughter who refused to let dementia erase her mother, Glenna wrote her book to help others stay connected when memory fades. Glenna has led HR for iconic brands, but still says her toughest and most meaningful role was as a caregiver.

Learn:
The difference between fixing and facing dementia
The art of care
The rules of care
What time travel have to do with dementia
How does the game/tool “How old are you today” work?
How to deal with guilt, grief, and confusion
How heartbreak and humor can work together to maintain sanity
