EP 159 :: Navigating Life Changes Due to Caregiving :: Jillian McCleary

Caregiving can change everything and Jillian McCleary understands that first hand. Over a period of 6 months Jillian left her career to care for her mother with Dementia, bought a house that could accommodate her mother’s needs, started her business “Lovelind”, and got married! Listen in with Bobbi & Mike as they talk with Jillian about the ups and downs of caregiving and how to know when it’s time to reach out for help.

Jillian’s mother, Linda, was first diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in 2018 and later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. As she encountered each stage of the disease, both Jillian and Linda searched for products and knowledge that were difficult, or impossible, to find. The goal of Lovelind is to make products and provide information that will support those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, as well as their caregivers.
