Late Night Health Radio

It’s an agonizing decision at any time: keep a parent at home or find somewhere else for them to live. Their Alzheimer’s disease has become more than can be managed. An elderly man has a stroke and his wife, elderly too, does not have the strength or health to provide for his needs. A senior is living alone, isolated, becoming dehydrated, and without access to regular healthy meals. For seniors, it is not always “safer at home.” During the Time of Covid-19, it is a desperate situation. Sarah Ordover is a senior living expert with a particular specialization in dementia care. Sarah sits on the City of Los Angeles Task Force for Alzheimer's Los Angeles and volunteers as a facilitator and public speaker for the organization. She holds CSA and CDC certifications in aging and dementia care and authors “The Senior Living Insider” blog. Sarah joins Mark Alyn on this episode of Late Night Health.
