Customer Testimonial “I could have never known the journey I was about to take when my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. My frustration grew as the disease began to rear its ugly head quicker than I could have imagined. We met with so many doctors and although they tried to be helpful, we got more sympathy than answers or education. A short time later I was introduced to The Savvy Caregiver, and it literally saved my relationship with my Mom. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the “normal” people like me speaking to how this disease has changed their lives and to the experts you showed giving us all strategies to cope with so many losses for both myself and my Mom. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the tools to allow my Mom and I to remain best friends while dealing with the challenges this disease brings. For anyone dealing with a family member with Alzheimer’s or dementia, The Savvy Caregiver is a total blessing!” -Diana S., Daughter and Caregiver, St. Paul, MN Other Customer Testimonials “I started watching session one and was absolutely mesmerized.
