## Resource

A dementia diagnosis doesn’t just change one life—it reshapes an entire family. In this powerful episode of Get Ready For Better Aging, host Jacqui Clark sits down with Libby Allman, Board Certified Behavior Analyst and founder of Align Family Solutions, to talk about what families really face after the diagnosis. Drawing from both her professional expertise and her personal journey caring for her father with dementia, Libby sheds light on the behaviors, burnout, grief, and role reversals caregivers experience every day. Together, Jacqui and Libby explore why a diagnosis often comes without guidance, how behavior-focused support can transform daily life, and what caregivers need most in those overwhelming early weeks. They discuss driving, incontinence, sleep disruption, and the quiet guilt so many caregivers carry—along with practical, compassionate strategies that move families from survival mode into clarity and confidence. This episode is a lifeline for anyone caring for someone with dementia—and a reminder that help does exist.
