It’s our mission to make dementia caregiving easier for families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, or any other type of dementia. We believe that in order to create a more dementia-friendly world, we must first create a caregiver-friendly world. That’s why we create free educational training videos like this one so that anyone with an internet connection can get access to dementia care information.
Hey there! Have you ever seen those “Help! I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” commercials? They’re talking about a medical alert device. In the world of caregiving for individuals living with dementia, the use of medical alert devices can be a key factor in ensuring their safety and well-being. Today, I want to chat about the good and not-so-good sides of using one. I’m Natali Edmonds, a board-certified geropsychologist, and I’m here to break it down for you.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
