The Caregiver's Journal
We have days that become milestones: The day we start our first job, we marry, we welcome children into our lives.
When we care for a family member, we also experience days of significance: The day our family member receives a diagnosis, the day we realize we need help, the first night we spend with our caree in the Emergency Room, the day our caree starts hospice care and all the days in between.
On these caregiving days, we can feel alone as we feel our world shift.
To help lessen the loneliness of these days, Lance A. Slatton and Denise M. Brown, co-hosts of The Caregiver’s Journal, invite family caregivers to join them to share the stories of their significant days.
The Caregiver's Journal shines a spotlight on the stories of family caregivers from around the world. The show also builds connections within the caregiving community, provides family caregivers a platform to share their valuable experiences and reduces the sense of isolation often experienced during a caregiving journey.
You can tune in to The Caregiver's Journal on AllHomeCareMatters.com, YouTube, and various streaming platforms.

Lance A. Slatton, All Home Care Matters
"We hope that the stories shared in each episode reflect what family caregivers write in their own journals, and when family caregivers hear another share a similar situation, we hope our viewers and listeners will feel less alone in what they experience and feel," said Slatton.
"When you take a step back and take inventory of the tremendous work that is being done in the senior care and caregiving space there are few if any names or individuals that have had such a lasting and profound impact on senior care and caregiving as Denise has had. When the idea of collaborating and working together came about there was no doubt that a collaboration would bring a tremendously positive impact for caregivers and the senior care industry."
