Planning for Dementia [037]

Join Caroline and Brad Wenzel for a discussion on making a robust plan for caring for a parent with dementia. Brad shares with us the why, what, and how of planning for the future when dealing with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

 

Brad Wenzel is the founder and CEO of My Aging Parent Plan, a multidisciplinary support program helping families confront Alzheimer’s and dementia by planning and strategizing for their loved one’s future. Better known as “Care Coach” among his clients, he's been a physical therapist working exclusively with seniors and their families for nearly 20 years. As a son to a father with dementia himself, Brad has been able to not only help other families on their journey with Alzheimer’s or dementia, but his own as well.
