The Challenges of Dementia Caregiving || Nancy Treaster

Life is a Sacred Journey

🎙 In this episode, we are pleased to introduce Nancy Treaster. As an experienced dementia caregiver and entrepreneur, Nancy co-hosts The Caregiver's Journey podcast, which provides valuable insights and practical advice for caregivers.
✨ When she cracked the code on how to get her husband’s sleeping back on track early in his journey with dementia, Nancy Treaster felt like a “new normal” was finally within reach. The retired software industry veteran who spent her professional life managing strategy for a publicly-traded, global company found herself in unfamiliar territory with her husband’s diagnosis, and her usual techniques for quickly changing course and overcoming obstacles weren’t working.
✨ When she reconnected with her friend, veteran caregiver Sue Ryan, the two lamented the lack of candid and practical advice for the day-to-day of caregiving for people living with dementia, and then the two former colleagues did what they know best – they created the solution. Through The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy brings her business expertise, caregiving experience, and acquired knowledge as a Certified Caregiving Advocate and Certified Caregiving Consultant to improving the lives of dementia caregivers with frank and actionable insights and advice – something there is not enough of in the marketplace. Through short and engaging podcasts, Nancy and Sue map out solutions that caregivers are desperately seeking, in particular for uncomfortable topics like taking away the car keys, safety, and incontinence. In doing so, Sue and Nancy are also creating a sense of community that is so often hard for
caregivers to find.
✨ Prior to founding The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy spent 16 years as General Manager of Strategic Operations at Verint Systems, a leader in customer experience (CX) automation. She
lives in Atlanta with her husband, who lives at home with the support of his family and caregivers.
