Seeing The Person, Finding The Joy: A Care Partner's Journey Through Alzheimer's with Marilyn Raichle
In this episode, I sit down with Marilyn Raichle, author of Don't Walk Away, founder of The Art of Alzheimer's, executive director of Maude’s Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer’s Care, and advocate for people living with dementia. With a background in performing arts and a Master's in Public Administration from Harvard, Marilyn reframed her approach to dementia care after becoming a care partner for her mother. She explores how shifting from a "caregiver" mindset to a "care partner" connection fosters dignity, joy, and purpose.
