Today’s guest on Experts Dig in with Doggies for Dementia is Jennifer Fink, family caregiver and founder of Fading Memories Podcast.

I love hearing what people do after something as challenging as living with and caring for someone with dementia. Jennifer Fink is a former portrait photographer who became a family caregiver for her mother. She came across challenge after challenge and was frustrated by the lack of resources.  You’re going to love this story!

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks. Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self care and how to age well.  Be sure and take a listen!
