EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Memories are the main ingredients of our existence. We store them, like precious gems, locked away - seemingly safe - inside the vaults of our skulls. But, there’s a thief in the castle and it answers to many names: Alzheimer’s, Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia, Lewy body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Childhood Dementia. Senior Care expert Jenny Kenderes joins Doc Heath & The TBAL Team (Licensed clinicians Sarah, Heather, Debbie) to decode dementia care and discuss what works & what doesn’t.
