Lessons in Caregiving Education
Today Barbara is pleased to welcome David Hart, a professor and clinical psychologist who specializes in dementia and caregiving. David is a faculty member in the Department of Counseling at California State University, Fullerton, and is the director of clinical services at Always Best Care Senior Services in Torrance, CA. David shares his personal story about caring for his grandmother, who was diagnosed with dementia when he was 15. He and his mother did their best, he says, but they didn’t have the right information, support, or resources.“Our hearts were always in the right place, we just didn’t know.” David entered the field to help others in this position, devoting his career to educating caregivers. In today’s special episode, Barbara and David share valuable insights and lessons they’ve learned from their formidable careers working in memory care and with caregivers. To learn more about David and his “caregiving bootcamp,” go to alwaysbestcaresouthbay.com or contact him at dhart@abc-seniors.com.
