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
