"Perspectives from a Male Caregiver" - Guest: Bo Bienvenu

View descriptionShare

Care partner, husband, and father, Bo Bienvenu joins Dana for a moving conversation about his experiences caring for his wife Maddie. Dana and Bo discuss the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in the U.S., and how that’s resulted in a growing number of male care partners. Bo opens up about how he cares for himself during the process, how Maddie’s journey has helped to deepen his faith, and what Alzheimer’s taught him about the difference between selflessness and service.

The Memory Whisperer is written and produced by Dana Territo, with help from editor Blake Langlinais. Additional production support from Ryan Martz and Julia Weaver. Special Thanks to Michael Andrews, a person with dementia, and Innovations in Dementia, CIC for our theme music.  Logo graphics by Xdesign.
