## Resource

When should you see a geriatrician? Dr. Amina Jabbar explains aging, cognitive decline, and care options for older adults and their families. If you are caring for aging parents or worried about dementia or Alzheimer’s, this conversation brings clarity without fear. This week, Teri Hart is joined by Dr. Amina Jabbar, a GTA geriatrician and health policy PhD candidate at McMaster University, for a powerful conversation about cognitive decline, dementia vs. Alzheimer’s, and why geriatric medicine is about helping people live as well as they can with the time they have. They talk about diagnosis, driving, loneliness, caregiving realities, and why “none of this should be a surprise,” including the advanced care planning conversations we all avoid (and shouldn’t). __ This episode of The Hart of It All is brought to you by Capital Direct.
