This episode, Mike and Bobbi discuss with Gail Weatherill – author, RN, BSN, CAEd – how, when caring for someone with dementia, your own mental stability can be the single most critical factor in your loved one’s quality of life.

She has been specializing in the care of people with dementia and their families for over twenty years. Her irreverent approach to the American health care machine makes her an effective and sought out advocate for those in deepest need.
