Hey there Careblazer! Welcome back to Careblazers TV, the place where we talk about everything dementia. If you are caring for a loved one with any type of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, or vascular dementia, then this is the place for you!

In today’s video, I am interviewing a special guest- Mary Jo Gibbons! She has planned, developed, and operated several assisted living facilities. Not only has she worked in these facilities, she also had to place her father with Alzheimer’s disease in a memory care facility. In this episode, Mary Jo shares how to make the transition to nursing home care, including the things that ultimately helped her father transition. I hope you enjoy hearing her perspective as much as I did.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Oh- and I recently started an instagram page @careblazers. Follow me there!


Blaze on,
Dr. Natali

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. In my job, I help people with dementia, and their caregivers, by visiting them in their own homes and helping them cope through the many struggles of caring for someone with dementia. I have always wanted to help more people than is possible for me in a work day. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I do this in my spare time. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
