It’s our mission to make dementia caregiving easier for families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, or any other type of dementia. We believe that in order to create a more dementia friendly world, we must first create a caregiver friendly world. That's why we create free educational training videos like this one so that anyone with an internet connection can get access to dementia care information.

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 hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.

Your YouTube videos are a great sauce of information especially 3 o’clock in the morning when I can’t sleep 😊❤

Yes, throwing tissue on the floor is wasteful. But clomping around in tissue box shoes is pretty darn funny. Humor keeps me going. 😟 🙁 😏 😂

I love and share all your videos with my husbands family. Sometimes it is hard for the extended family to get involved when the primary caregiver doesn't want the help.
I have just done and not asked and this seems to have helped her. I just want to be able to do more and feel helpless at times.😥

[janicenewbold]

You are 100 percent correct!!!! My husband’s PCP very brief answers to my questions but kept wanting to write more prescriptions!!! And was not happy when I would challenge!!! The answer is not more medicine!!!So I found you and you have been a life saver, Thank You!!! I have also found that medical marijuana gummies ( just half) help to calm him and now he sleeps all night!!! All your suggestions have worked for us❤️❤️❤️

[sineaden.]

Made me realize we have a great PCP. Always has time for us. Answers questions directly on phone without charging a fee. Helps so much! Agree other sources are helpful and needed.

Dr. Natali, As usual, you are giving great information. You are right about needing more information than what you get from your PCP. Your You Tube videos and Careblazers Program have been wonderful trustworthy sources for me to continue learning about Dementia and caregiving. Thank you!

[artistocracy]

I appreciate that you talk fast to impart as much information as you do in a relative short amount of time.

[maypalmer]

Wow, How I needed THIS today!! UNREAL!!!!❤❤❤

[bplusAgain]

neither are docs trained in nutrition, in fact all they really do seem trained in is RXing life long medicines!

[dannymadigan]

All of them!definitely always room for improvement&things to help this endeavor with so many dynamics& change.thnx!

[roundtablekid]

I ♡ the detective approach. It feels like fresh new tool. Yet, the loss of words and the very slow pace mlo operates on might make understanding his perspective additional challenging.

[BC-vxzq]

Very behavioral based and excellent, helpful input. TY ❤️

[luannestrickland]

Thank you so much, for this information is so important and much needed as well as appreciated!

[kumonaccountant]

Hey Doc! -#3 hits home for me. I found myself more frustrated after Moms Dr Appt because I never got anything to more forward … he was very removed and non attentive with me present- made me wonder how he was w Mom when she went But Careblazer Courses and groups have been my GodSend to prayers … and a few other people. I DO AGREE - following TOO MANY on YouTube can be adding to confusion- so that is something to keep in mind. Thanks for all you do❤

[dianeberk]

Yes! My husband’s numerologist is always on a rush. His focus is the Parkinson’s

[micheleauntiem]

We have to problem solve the overall or gestalt of behavior.

[whatsupchannel]

Excellent information, the curiosity part is up to a point what I have been doing but didn't realise it . Sadly the care staff very often say my loved one is having a bad day but I want to know why is she having a bad day today. I try and stay as positive and upbeat during every visit . I hope that's the case when the care staff try and get compliance for hygiene ect .

[bplusAgain]

why does doc only have 5 minutes? come on they sure charge enough! but yeah, they are NOT trained in dementia!
