Sarah Gorenstein takes us on a journey through the evolving landscape of dementia care, sharing insights from her transition from the United Kingdom to becoming a pivotal figure in reimagining how we support families facing cognitive decline in America.

The conversation reveals how our understanding of dementia has transformed over generations. What was once dismissively labeled as "going senile" is now recognized as a complex condition requiring specialized, thoughtful approaches. Sarah explains how Lizzy Care was born from her own experience working with a family struggling to navigate care options during the pandemic, despite having significant resources at their disposal.

What sets Lizzy Care apart is their recognition that dementia affects the entire family ecosystem. Their innovative model creates personalized care plans factoring in family dynamics, financial realities, and the patient's evolving needs. Sarah emphasizes the value of early intervention through companion care – providing meaningful social interaction for those with early symptoms while offering essential respite for family caregivers before they reach burnout.

Technology emerges as a game-changer in their approach. Through a custom-built platform, family members scattered across different locations can stay connected to their loved one's daily care. Caregivers document observations that might signal changes requiring attention, while Lizzy Care's clinical team analyzes patterns to prevent potential crises before they occur. This proactive stance represents a fundamental shift from the traditional reactive approach to dementia care.

The discussion touches on practical considerations too – from navigating difficult family decisions when siblings have varying levels of involvement, to understanding payment options including long-term care insurance and upcoming Medicare coverage starting July. Sarah's insights offer a roadmap for families feeling overwhelmed by the complex terrain of cognitive decline.
