In this episode on the Living with Alzheimer's podcast, Christoph interviews Steve Mullen, co-host with his wife Jennifer on Caregiving Gen X Style, a podcast by Gen Xers for Gen Xers who are taking care of their aging parents.
Steve describes many of the unique caregiving challenges faced by Gen Xers. As the current Sandwich Generation, they are often raising children while simultaneously caring for aging parents.
Steve shares how draining caregiving can be and some of the practical ways families and friends can help. We also discuss some of the key caregiving insights and resources you can find on their podcast.
And, although neither of us can recall the name of a book we mention in the episode, the title is The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias. Now in its 7th edition, the book is full of practical advice for caregivers.
