Episode 11
Tuesday, 16 September, 2025
What if caregiving felt a little less overwhelming and a lot more supported?Caregiving can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. In this episode of Caregiver Storyteller, we sit down with Dr. Jessica Zwerling, neurologist and Director of the Montefiore Hudson Valley Center of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease, and a 2025 CaringKind New York City Alzheimer’sWalk honoree.Dr. Zwerling shares her perspective on how families can find balance while caring for someone with dementia. She explores the many ways caregivers can build meaningful connections, even as communication changes, and why compassion is so central to the dementia journey. She also discusses how clinical trials and community partnerships, including CaringKind, JASA, and GUIDE, bring real support directly to families when they need it most.Her insights remind us that caregiving is not just about responsibilities, but about relationships, and that small moments of self-care can be just as important as the care we provide to others.This episode offers both inspiration and practical guidance, highlighting how medical expertise and community resources come together to make the dementia journey more manageable.Visit Montefiore Einstein Hudson Valley Center of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease: https://montefioreeinstein.org/patient-care/services/neurology/programs/alzheimersIf you’re caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, you are not alone.
