Innovation in Caregiving and Insights for Caregivers with Children: How Cindy McCaffery Built YOUQuest for Young-Onset Dementia Support 🎶

What happens when caregiving, motherhood, and career collide—and the system doesn’t offer the support you need?

For Cindy MacCaffrey, that wasn’t just a question; it was a call to action. As a wife, mother, and daughter-in-law of those impacted by young-onset dementia, Cindy saw the gaps in resources, support, and community-based care—so she created YOUQuest, a first-of-its-kind day program designed for active individuals living with young-onset dementia.

In this eye-opening episode, Cindy shares:

💡 How she turned a gap in the system into an innovative solution

🏀 Why traditional care models don’t work for young-onset & how YOUQuest is different

🎶 The power of music, movement & connection in brain health

🌱 Her best advice for caregivers balancing work, kids, and a spouse with dementia

🧠 Why shifting the language from "dementia" to "brain disease" opens up better conversations

✨ The importance of family & child counseling—and why “Enjoying the NOW” is key
