Real conversations for caregivers and older adults
Caregiving brings questions you never expected to ask. Is this just old age? Why does mom keep asking the same thing over and over? How will we ever pay for memory care? How do I make a hard decision I can live with?
When you're giving your all and running on empty, it helps to hear from people who understand Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Informed Aging is a podcast about health, help and hard decisions, talked through in plain language.
New episodes come out twice a month. Listen here on our website or wherever you get your podcasts.
Listen on a walk, in the car or while you finally sit down with a cup of coffee. It's support you can fit into a busy caregiving day.

What are some of the best podcasts for dementia caregivers?
The best podcast is one that answers your questions in a way that feels practical and kind. Informed Aging is a good place to start because it covers health, finding help and the hard decisions families face.
Podcasts are a great way to learn, and they can make a long day feel less lonely. But they can't replace talking with people who understand. Pair your listening with a caregiver support group or a free Care Navigation session. Care Navigation works like a GPS for the dementia journey: you bring us a problem, and we help you work through it.
Can a podcast help me feel less alone as a caregiver?
Yes, it can help. Many caregivers say friends and family drift away once dementia enters the picture. Hearing honest conversations about the same struggles can remind you that you're not the only one. For real two-way conversation, join one of ADRC's free caregiver support groups, in person or virtual.

What is the 90-second rule for dementia?
It's an informal caregiving tip: when emotions run high, pause and give the feeling about 90 seconds to pass before you respond. Read the full answer in our Alzheimer's and dementia FAQ.
