As my mother’s dementia progressed, I felt lost, overwhelmed and exhausted. Shannon Pearson was more than a consultant—she was a lifeline. Her nursing expertise helped us navigate care decisions, but what meant the most was how she supported me as a caregiver. She listened, reassured, and reminded me I wasn’t alone. Her practical guidance gave us both peace of mind.
Having Shannon as our dementia consultant was invaluable. She helped us to understand the medical side of my husband’s condition, and steer through the constant roller coaster. She helped us speak with our doctors- which had been frustrating. She connected us with community support groups, respite care options, and even legal resources we hadn’t considered. Her knowledge and compassion lifted a huge burden off my shoulders as a caregiver.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is an act of great personal sacrifice and love. It can also be a source of great stress. OYT offers compassionate caregiver help and support to reduce overwhelm and avoid burnout—because your well-being matters too.
