EP 50 :: Millennial Caregivers :: Ashley Stevens

Listen on Apple Podcasts.

Ashley Stevens talks with Bobbi and Mike about the unique challenges facing millennial caregivers.

 “Really educating millennial caregivers about the financial piece is key. If long–term care is even an option for them, or if they need to look into Medicaid services, benefits, or other programs,” Ashley said.

Ashley holds a Bachelor of Science degree in gerontology (the study of aging) from Bowling Green State University and she received her master’s degree in social work from UNC. Her graduate certification is focused on dementia care practices, aging, and global research. She currently works for the state of North Carolina, counseling families and individuals impacted by dementia.

“At the tender age of 6 years old, I was introduced to Alzheimer’s disease as I watched it take a toll on my great grandma Trollie and my entire family. Decades later, as a millennial, I’ve found myself organically in the midst of the dementia world, collaborating with families – and I refuse to look back! It’s not just a job for me – it’s my passion. My calling,” Ashley said.
