In this debut podcast of Unlocking the Doors of Dementia with LAUREN, we explore what drew her into the field of working with those suffering from dementia. She explains what a care manager does, and why families might need someone like her to help care for their loved one with dementia. She also addresses what families should do if they suspect their loved one may be suffering from a serious memory impairment and knowing when it's time to call for help.

Lauren is joined in the studio by Marilyn Lyon, Director of Community Engagement for Family Connect Care, and Tom Spiglanin who produces the podcast.
