Summary: Please join me when my guest will be Gary Joseph LeBlanc, author of “Staying Afloat in a Sea of Forgetfulness,” co- author of “While I Still Can” and a weekly columnist of “Common Sense Caregiving” published in the Tampa Tribune and Hernando Today. His writings and speaking events utilize his 3,000 plus days and nights of personal caregiving experience to help other Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers cope with the everyday challenges and emotional struggles of caring for the memory-impaired. Our focus in this conversation will be Gary's new design of a specific wristband which can be fitted to all patients with dementia at the time of their hospital admittance. Gary is going to share how this simple wristband will benefit the patient, their family/caregivers and the hospital staff. During our 30 minute segment, you will be able to submit your questions for Gary via the web chat or our call-in number.
