NEW Television Show on Alzheimer Caregivers
Thursday, September 24 at 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 27 at 4:30 p.m.
A new program from MPBN, Caring for the Caregiver focuses on issues facing families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The scourge of these illnesses is an acute source of concern not just for patients, but also those suddenly thrust into the role of primary caregiver for an aging spouse, parent or grandparent. The program, which was developed in partnership with the Maine Alzheimer’s Association, is hosted by MPBN radio’s Suzanne Nance. Weaving interviews with health experts caring for Alzheimer’s patients with the personal experiences of Mainers who have suddenly found themselves dealing with the gradual, painful loss of a loved one, the program is designed for anyone who is now or who may one day need to confront this difficult reality. It airs Thursday, September 24 at 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 27 at 4:30 p.m. and will have components on the Web at www.mpbn.net.
