Navigating Dementia Care: Stacey’s story

This week, Beth is joined by Stacey Markle, who shares her powerful and deeply personal story of navigating dementia as an only child after the sudden loss of her father. When her mum began showing signs of cognitive decline, Stacey became her primary caregiver, managing everything from diagnosis to daily care, and later navigating the complexities of long-term care in the US system.

Over the past ten years, Stacey has gained invaluable knowledge about dementia care, legal planning and the realities of caregiving. Through her Instagram page, @navigatingdementiacare, she now shares practical advice, candid reflections and support for others going through the same journey, helping caregivers feel less alone.
