Mom Forgot My Birthday: A ‘How-Not-To’ Guide for Caregivers   

#CaringForMom  #ADaughtersJourney #DementiaCare

Lori La Bey talks with Sonya Jury, a board member for the Alzheimer’s Association, Heart of America Chapter, and the author of Mom Forgot My Birthday: A Daughter’s Journey Through Alzheimer’s. Her book is a raw "how-not-to" guide for navigating the complexities of caregiving. Sonya draws on her personal experiences with her mother, Dean, and she provides caregivers with the information she wishes she’d had before her mother was diagnosed.

Learn:
About experiences that shift people from a supportive caregiver to a primary caregiver, and how that happened.
About Sonya's “How-not-to” guide, and she tells us why she wrote it this way, and also shares a few of the lessons she learned that she hopes others don’t have to go through.
What you can expect from Sonya’s book regarding:

- Early-Stage Alzheimer’s (mild)
- Middle-Stage Alzheimer’s (moderate)
- Late-Stage Alzheimer’s (severe)
Key differences between these stages from a caregiving perspective
Some key resources available to caregivers that weren’t available a decade ago.

Lori La Bey talks with Joe Pianetta, who has spent his professional career in the print production world, and he also cared for his father during that time last 2 years of his life, and that is what inspired crayon cards as a new business venture.

Learn:
What is the back story that inspired Crayon Cards?
How does Crayon Cards adapt to someone in the early stage versus the middle or late stage?
Why is the middle stage often where Crayon Cards has its greatest impact?
How can caregivers benefit from Crayon Cards?
What is identity preservation, and why does it matter in dementia care?
How do Crayon Cards support reminiscence therapy, and how does that help the person living with dementia, as well as their care partners?

Alzheimer's Speaks - Shifting dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world one episode at a time by raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites, since 2011.

Alzheimer's Speaks is part of the Senior Resource Podcast Network.

Today, Lori La Bey, the host of Alzheimer&rsquo;s Speaks, talks about the first Memory Caf&eacute; she launched in the US back on October 26, 2011, and why the group decided to close it on June 10th, 2026.
You will hear how Lori heard about the Memory Caf&eacute; concept and what enticed her to launch one in the US, and the reception and push back it received.
Learn about the benefits the Memory Caf&eacute;s make and the difference they are making not only to those living with a diagnosis, but to their families, friends, and the community at large.
Find out how and where to access information about the Memory Caf&eacute;s, along with finding ones close to you and how you can get involved.
If you are looking to learn more about Memory Caf&eacute;s and possibly open your own.
