Imagine waking up and the world no longer makes sense. People are correcting you, rushing you, expecting things you can’t do.

For someone living with dementia, confusion can feel like danger.

#DementiaCaregiving #DementiaSupport #CaregiverEmpathy #AlzheimersCare #FamilyCaregivers

When you feel like you’re getting dementia care wrong, pause.

You are caring with love. You are doing the best you can. You are learning as you go. And your decisions are made with good intentions.

America’s Caregiving Crisis Is Here | Aging, Exhaustion & Political Chaos America’s Caregiving Crisis Is Here | Aging, Exhaustion & Political Chaos My sister had a brain tumor removed. The surgery was successful. The recovery? Brutal. Family members — daughters, friends, me — are stepping in. But here’s the reality: caregiving in America is overwhelming, underfunded, and often unsupported by insurance. Daily nursing care isn’t covered. Families are left to manage medications, mobility, doctor visits, and emotional breakdowns while trying to maintain jobs and lives. America is aging rapidly. Baby Boomers are entering their most vulnerable years. So who is going to care for them? We don’t have a plan. We don’t have enough nurses. We don’t have a system built for long-term home recovery. Is the future robots? AI caregivers? Or total burnout for families? This isn’t political theater. It’s happening right now in homes across the country. Meanwhile, Donald Trump says members of Congress who challenged him should be arrested. The statement was posted publicly. What does that mean for democratic norms? And The New York Times reports that records tied to the Epstein files may be missing — including information involving allegations connected to Trump. What is happening with these investigations? Caregiving. Accountability. Democracy. The system strain is everywhere. The Karel Show streams live Monday–Thursday at 10:30 AM PST.

On my walks, I often reflect on the counseling work I do with caregivers. Lately, one thought keeps returning: caring for a loved one living with dementia is one of the greatest acts of unconditional love.

Policy relief for family caregivers seems stalled out. But there are signs of change — NPR Family members carry the burden and costs of caring for America’s aging population. Federal policy change is slow to come but a new movement and state actions are building momentum.

"Currently there’s no nationwide system for #familycaregivers to find out what help might be available."
