  NANCY TREASTER: Frontotemporal Dementia And The Fight For Clarity

  Aug 12, 20261h 9mS12

  What happens when you know something is wrong, but no one believes you? In this heartfelt episode of Love Conquers Alz , Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome Nancy Treaster , co-founder of The Caregiver's Journey , to discuss her husband, Kim Treaster's battle with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and the long road to an accurate diagnosis. Nancy is a certified caregiving consultant and co-founder of The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy shares the subtle behavioral changes that first raised concerns, the frustration of being told it was "just anxiety," and why caregivers must trust their instincts when something doesn't feel right. Together, they explore the differences between Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, the challenges of language loss (primary progressive aphasia), and the importance of advocating for a loved one when the medical system falls short. The conversation also dives into some of the most emotional aspects of caregiving: • Recognizing the early signs of FTD • Why spouses and family members often notice symptoms first • How to advocate for an accurate diagnosis • Protecting your loved one's dignity throughout the disease • Navigating aggression, incontinence, and difficult behaviors with compassion • What it means to become a "pragmatic caregiver" and find peace in the present moment • Why love can endure, even when memories fade Nancy's wisdom reminds us that while dementia changes relationships, it doesn't erase love. If you're caring for or walking beside someone living with FTD or any dementia diagnosis, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired. * The short film mentioned in the podcast: Love At First Sight starring British actors Sir John Hurt and Phyllida Law Send us Fan Mail If someone you love experienced neglect in a nursing home…Then you know how desperately the system needs to change.

  LAURA FINNELLY, RN, BCPA, CSCM: How To Be A Healthcare Cop Without A Badge

  Jul 10, 20261h 4mS12

  A rushed discharge. A chart that does not match reality. A loved one with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s dementia who cannot explain what hurts. If you have ever felt bullied by a system that moves too fast, this conversation is for you. Susie and Don talk with Laura Finnelly, a registered nurse with 25+ years in healthcare, a certified senior care manager, an Air Force veteran, and the founder of Guided Care RN Advocates . Laura lays out what families need to know about patient advocacy, navigating hospital stays, preventing medical errors, and protecting dignity in dementia care. She also shares why she calls herself a “neighborhood healthcare cop” and why that mindset helps caregivers ask better questions, document the right details, and stop feeling “crazy” when something is off. All things that motivated her to write RN on Duty , a practical guide gives families the tools, structure, and confidence they need to navigate today’s healthcare system more effectively. Rather than focusing on medical advice, RN on Duty teaches you how to navigate the system itself —from preparing for appointments and organizing medical information, to understanding hospital processes, discharge planning, and care transitions. Susie and Don connect those practical tools to the bigger fight for long-term care reform, including their first-ever synchronized National Walk for Long-Term Care Reform on September 27. They also get real about caregiver stress, nurse burnout, staffing shortages, and the harsh reality that people who cannot speak up are often the first to be overlooked unless someone is there to advocate. Laura will be leading one of the walks in Illinois. So if you live in Illinois - you'll want to sign up to be a part of this historic event! One key takeaway you do not want to miss: how to challenge an unsafe discharge, including the Medicare Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage and how an appeal can pause the process long enough to get answers. We also cover Medicare-funded advocacy and navigation options and where to find qualified patient advocates, Connect with Laura: info@guidedcare1.com Subscribe, share this with a caregiver, and leave a review so more families can find these tools when they need them most.

  MARK WILSON: The Care Leader Mindset

  Jun 3, 202648 minS12

  Alzheimer’s can take so much, so fast, and the hardest part is feeling like you have zero control. We’re Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess, and we’re joined by Mark Wilson, a former Fortune 500 leadership executive whose new book, Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care , offers a hopeful roadmap that leads to thriving, not just surviving through a dementia journey. After his mother was diagnosed with both Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, Mark made the life-changing decision to leave a successful corporate career and become her full-time caregiver. What followed was a remarkable journey that challenged expectations and transformed both their lives. Drawing on leadership principles, practical strategies, and deep personal experience, Mark shares how families can become Care Leaders , not just caregivers, by creating environments that prioritize safety, joy, connection, purpose, and well-being. We discuss: • The mindset shift from caregiver to care leader • The five breakthrough pillars of care • Building and leading an effective care team • Creating moments of joy even in the face of dementia • Supporting your loved one without losing yourself • Why hope still matters after an Alzheimer's diagnosis • Finding purpose and meaning throughout the caregiving journey Whether you're caring for a parent, spouse, partner, or friend, this episode offers practical guidance, heartfelt wisdom, and a powerful reminder that love can still create extraordinary moments. Because even when there is no cure, there can still be connection, purpose, and joy. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s caregiving, and leave a review so more families searching for Alzheimer’s caregiving support and dementia care strategies can find it. #LoveConquersAlz, #Alzheimers, #Dementia, #Caregiving, #FamilyCaregiver, #CaregiverSupport, #DementiaCare, #SeniorCare, #CareLeader, #AgingParents, #CaregiverLife, #AlzheimersAwareness, #CaregivingJourney, #ElderCare, #CaregiverWellnes Connect with Mark: Website: Bold Care Leader LinkedIn: LinkedIn Profile Instagram: @boldcareleader Facebook: Mark Wilson / Bold Care Leader on Facebook Book: Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care Send us Fan Mail If someone you love experienced neglect in a nursing home…Then you know how desperately the system needs to change.

  ELLEN ANCUI: Granny Dumping, Storytelling, and the Fight for Dignity in Aging

  May 8, 20261h 1mS12

  What happens when society looks away from its most vulnerable? In this episode of Love Conquers Alz , hosts Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome WGA, AWD, award-winning, neurodiverse, bi, writer/director, and podcaster, Ellen Ancui, who specializes in traumadies—darkly funny stories where (mostly) women dig their own graves, then complain about the landscaping. Ellen writes about caregiving, sex, and the 2nd act of a creative life. She co-hosts the pod FILTHY MILFS with Sophie Levine, about women’s health, desire, and aging fearlessly. Ellen wrote, produced, and directed the Oscar-qualified short film, SAVERIO , that sheds light on a shocking and often invisible issue: elder abandonment, also known as “granny dumping.” Through a powerful blend of humor and humanity, Ellen’s film tells the story of a young woman forced to confront her own values when an elderly man is abandoned in her care—an all-too-real scenario happening far more often than most people realize. This episode is both a wake-up call and a reminder of what’s at stake if we continue to look away. Because aging is not someone else’s story. It’s all of ours. And change starts with awareness.

  KATHY BRADLEY: How To Become a Polite Nightmare When a Nursing Home Turns Into a House of Horrors

  Apr 16, 20261h 17mS11

  In this episode of Love Conquers Alz , hosts Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome Kathy Bradley , a nationally respected advocate with over 3 decades of experience in long-term care and the founder of Our Mother’s Voice . After retiring from a career as a nursing home administrator, Kathy faced the system again as a daughter when her own mother rapidly declined into severe dementia. What she experienced changed everything. Despite knowing the system inside and out, Kathy struggled to get her mother the care she needed. That journey led her to create Our Mother’s Voice , a nonprofit that provides free services and is dedicated to helping families understand their rights, advocate effectively, and navigate one of the most complex and overwhelming systems many will ever face. In this powerful conversation, you’ll hear: • Why so many families feel powerless in long-term care • What to do when something “feels off” with your loved one’s care • The importance of documentation and speaking the right language • How systemic issues and financial incentives impact quality of care • Practical ways to advocate without burning bridges or risking retaliation • And why love, empathy, and human connection still matter most This episode is both a wake-up call and a guide. Because every family will face this moment. And no one should have to face it alone.
