Hello Dear Listeners,
Did you know that Los Angeles county has a department of aging and disability? Do you know what they can do for you?
Tune in as Judy an and I talk with Charles Schiell. Charles was a care partner for his father & now runs a support group for care partners. We spoke with him back in EP-39 and we invited him back to the show o talk about the abilities expo and share some of the resources that he's collected.
Enjoy!

Former Care Partner and Host of the PCLA support group Care Partner Connection
My dad was diagnosed with PD at age 53 in 2006, the same year I moved from Denver to Los Angeles. My girlfriend of 10 years was also a care partner for her mother with PD. I have experienced long-distance caring, as well as intensive, 24/7 caring during end stages that occurred during the pandemic. I try to assist care partners with education, tools, and resources, as well as how to deal with the challenging emotional toll.
