In this episode Bobbi and Mike talk with Michele Darwin, executive director of the Windward foundation, on the negative financial impact that dementia has on business and how businesses should be educating their employees on what resources might be available to assist them. 
It’s important that a caregiver reach out to their HR departments about the resources available to employees regarding dementia.
Michele is the co-founder and executive director of the Windward Foundation whose mission is to ease the burden of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. Michele played a significant role in caring for her father when he was diagnosed in 2010 and saw first-hand the devastating effect that the disease can have on the unpaid family caregiver and their family.
